Mozilla has trouble with the background images on a lot of pages, including, but not limited to, these: http://www.news.com/ http://www.castlewales.com/home.html The backgrounds will often not cover the whole page the way they're supposed to, or they may get redrawn in a slightly different location as the page is scrolled, causing them to cover the other information on the page, making it illegible. It appears that sometimes if you highlight the text which is being hidden, it becomes readable again. Also, I have noticed that if you go to each of the above URLs, in the above order, parts of www.news.com's background will show up in the other page. I noticed this problem on Data General DG/UX UNIX.

Reassign to radha@netscape.com Radha, can you look into this ?

Fix checked in last night. Marking fixed.

This is way, way better, but I still see a few problems with images. Perhaps it's not even really the same issue. But for example: http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?980930.wcsenatey2k.htm Draws one image on top of another. I get the same problem from AltaVista after a search. Here's the URL of the result of a search for "Mozilla", which shows this same problem: http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&kl=en&q=mozilla

In both examples that fraioli has mentioned, the segment that overlays on the following HTML is actually a layer, not just an image. Reassigning to toshok. maybe he already knows about this. cc ing ramiro, pnunn and nisheeth

toshok@netscape.com => toshok@hungry.com

Another interesting tidbit; don't know if this helps. The page: http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=000Byf also exhibits this problem with the overlap. However, if I hit the 'Back' button, then the 'forward' again to come back to it, it is rendered correctly the second time.

Old bug, old codebase. Marking won't fix. Re-open if I am incorrect.
