User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 The text is placed so far to the right that I have to scroll to display it, while the middle of the screen is filled with empty black space. I don't know whether the problem is with the web pages or this version of Mozilla, but hope that someone can fix the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the home page of this site, which seems to display OK: http://www.democrats.org Hmmm. the home page is being displayed wrong now in a second browser window. 2. Click on "Picture This: The Economy..." 3. Note that the text of this page is displayed so far right that scrolling is needed to read all of it. Actual Results: The text should be just to the right of the sidebar, but it's so far to the right that only the left edge of the text is visible. Expected Results: Mozilla should have put the text just to the right of the sidebar. It's unclear whether the problem is in Mozilla or the webpages of this site. The home page displayed OK initially, but now it doesn't (in a 2nd browser window).
On displaying a messed-up page, if I go to another page and then click the "back" button to return to the page that didn't display right, it seems to display right when it's returned to.
The first page on this site generally is rendered right, but the next one is incorrect. However, after going to another page and clicking "back", or clicking "back" and then "forward", the problem page is rendered correctly. Why should the page not be displayed correctly the first time? This is the only site I've seen this problem on, and as far as I know there could be a problem with the page source. But I don't think this problem existed with 1.3a, the previous version I was using. There are so many bugs listed with the keyword "render" that this could be a dupe, haven't looked at all the likely reports.
