(Whiteboard: fails still with Mar26 latest builds)

Linux 5.2, win98, Mac March 9 optimized seamonkey builds 1. Launch app and go to: http://www.ac2000.org • Page does not layout, tries and stalls at the Naval Observatory Clock graphic. I tried to use source pages to physically narrow down and other issues such as illegal frameset html exist. If you simply load the home.html frame separately the app will crash; on Mac with a (this holds the naval clock code). On linux error in cmd line: Gdk=CRITICAL **; file gdkpixmap.c: line 820 (gdk_pixmap_unref): assertion `pixm!= NULL' failed.

Let's look at this sensibly for a minute: how can something that's Linux specific and failing in the gdk code be a LAYOUT bug?
If you note, the bug occurs on ALL platforms. I cited the Linux result and actually had started to cite some Mac info but it appears it was cut off on entry. On Mac the page also does not layout; some of the frame source pages have their own individual issues which cause crashes which are separate bugs and being field as such.
Priority: P3 → P1
Target Milestone: M3
Putting on M3 radar.

Summary: Unable to layout page due to pixmap = null → Page layout fails at naval clock content on this page
mmmmm...bug is now assigned to me directly with no comments as to why. I checked the cited URL again with March 10 and 11 builds cross platform and it still fails at same point when Naval Clock graphic is displayed and data access occurs. Old summary was "Unable to layout page due to pixmap = null", adjusted summary to reflect where it fails. Will attempt to narrow down more but as mentioned other problems with source pages were preventing that a bit. Reassigned to rickg to farm out to developer; he can adjust priority appropriately.

Ramiro -- please take a look. Things to consider: 1) there was a known problem regarding transparent images on linux which may be an issue here. 2) There is a crash, even on NT, in the view construction code if you resize the window. I'm creating a new bug for Troy regarding that issue.
I tried this page on both nt and linux on march 26 build and it works fine on both. can you verify ? thanks.

Mar 26 optimized apprunner, Mac, Win98 and Linux 5.2, still stalls after clock loads, leaving clock at top of content area, the left nav and main content area items incompletely rendered and placed.
you are correct, i was not looking at the right thing. need to investigate more.
this crashes as of april 5 as a debug linux build

this page works the same on both viewer and apprunner on both win32 and linux. can you find an XP owner for this ? it would also be useful to figure out exactly why the clock thing isnt working as expect, ie, isolate the html or JavaScript. thanks marking m6

just tried it, page lays out fine on linux. If there are issues with the clock display, then you need to isolate that html and file separate bugs for that. markings worksforme.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
In the latest build Sept 2 (1999090208), the pages loads correctly on all platforms tested: Mac 8.6, Win 95, Linux (Red Hat 6.0).
