Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020625 The redrawing of the buttons on this page causes lots of flickering of the buttons as they move. Its also causing flickering as it passes under the layer at the top.

It looks like it is repositioning all of the rest of the buttons every time it moves the one that is supposed to be moving. Can I get a confirmation that this isn't just on my PC? It looks fine with IE.

Confirmed on Windows ME using trunk 2002072718. Looks related to bug 101698, 136549, and 136555.

I might says dupe bug 136549, but I'd want someone more knowledable to confirm.

confirming - using trunk build 2002121108 on win-xp pro,1.1ghz,512ram,GeForce2 Go (32MB@32Bit color depth). Related to this seem bug 170702 and bug 183269

Though I have to say that flickering is less comaring to Mozilla1.1b. Testing Mozilla 1.2.1 it has the same visible flickering as with latest trunk build.

I don't think this really matches the other ones. My site positions via absolutes. It might all be related, but none of the descriptions sound similar enough.

So.... where are the buttons that are getting repainted? I don't really see any buttons on the page....

I've changed the layout of my homepage since. The geocities page has some animation, but now I see a different broken behavior. I'll check it more carefully later. Right now changing tabs after the animation has finished results in the buttons being in the proper place, except for a hole in the webpage where I can see the tab I just visited before it. Sorry I can't do screenshots right now. Currently using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030427 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 on this machine.

The remaining problem is a view painting one for the fixed-pos element...

this seems to be related to bug 79315

Testcase based from site that shows the jitteriness. I think I've seen a bug (multiple bugs?) somewhere else about this.

So basically moving visibility:hidden divs shows some jitter?

Yes, and the use of position:fixed is also an important factor in triggering the bug.

Right. That's the widget thing biting us... roc, do we have a bug for having a single widget per window yet?

don't think so.

I think this is WFM in my debug build that has the "frame display lists" patch in it (bug 317375).
