Created by David Pax (dpax@wyse.com) on Friday, July 31, 1998 8:50:42 AM PDT Additional Details : Environment - Linux Slackware v2.0.30; Motif 1.2.4; X11R6 Mozilla built as MOZ_LITE without composer example page for problem - www.infoworld.com <body background="pageone/hedrgifs/bg_image.gif"> EXPECTED - background filled with yellow and white columns ACTUAL - Background image sometimes fills other times gray or black fill background. Additional problem appears after scrolling - click on right scroll bar to scroll up. EXPECTED - scrolling are to clear and repaint with nes data ACTUAL - clearing does not occur and new data is superimposed on existing data. Sometimes ackground will appear black, the same color as the foreground text thereby obscuring it. Got www.pcweek.com - similar problems occur NOTE: By selecting "Always use my colors, overriding document" in the Color Preference menu, the web pages with display and scroll correctly. Therefore, I believe the problem is centered around the "tiled background image".

Window tiling is done by the front ends.
Toshok and me were discussing this bug over IRC. He thinks that Pam might know something about this bug because it could have been caused by NGLayout's modular imagelib merge with mozilla. ccing pam...
If I remember correctly, this bug appeared around the time of the modular netlib landing. Adding pnunn@netscape.com to cc.
honestly, this bug (and the reason it seems to have come into being) is completely **** me off. going to spend (and hopefully not waste) a few cycles trying to fix it.
hey toshok, dont get mad, get even. Reassign it to the somebody...
This url has problems with the background image but seems to behave differently than other url's i've seen. See bug 855 for a detailed description. basically only the areas to the left of the rightmost portion of the animated gifs had messed up backgrounds and the area directly to the right of the animated gif was displaying slightly munged bits from the previous page in the history. http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/~abell/sulaco.htm

I've spent a half hour, and can't reproduce this problem on the 3.16.99 builds of Apprunner on Win32, Linux or Mac OS using any of the URLs provided. I also haven't seen it in recent everyday usage. Thus, I'm marking it as verified fixed. --- dpax@wyse.com, if you have any reason to believe that this bug still exists in the current builds, could you please re-open this bug with your comments at your earliest convenience? Thanks!
