From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (Win98; U) BuildID: 2001042304 Mozilla cant correctly display html on some sites. Such as yours, the site/page with html gets squashed up, and screwed up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.mozilla.org 2. Move the page up/down/side to side 3. The page looks screwed up. Actual Results: The page gets screwed up. Expected Results: For the page not to get screwed up. Uh, oh yeah java wont work either. I have some screen shots of the problem, if you want them please respond with a request to my email account: icecap85@hotmail.com
screenshots would be good, since I can't produce this "screwup" you speak of. Linux build 2001-04-23-08.

reporter: what resolution are you running at, and what other interesting settings do you have? [confirming because I can't recall seeing a report like this]

Interested, adding myself to CC list
I could be wrong, but the screwed up pics have the feeling of "low resources" or something funky in the video driver. Reporter, I'd be curious what your system resources are when this happens (right-click My Computer, choose Properties, go to the Performance tab, and see what it reports for System Resources). Also, you wouldn't happen to be overclocking your video card or anything, would you?
Email from reporter: I went to view the bug report page. And it just screwed up some how.
I had 60% of my resources free when it happend.
More email from reporter: "Yes well my system resources are above 60% when this happens. I have a rage turbo pro integrated graphics card, 4mb." Hmm, 60% is actually low enough to cause problems sometimes, but it's not conclusive.
Reporter, the amount of actual RAM probably has nothing to do with it, since system resources only depends on the GDI and User heaps. My own experience has been that Windows 9x starts getting flakey when resources get down to the 60% to 65% level, regardless of what application. Anyway, some other things to try are: lowering your color depth, if you're running at 32bit color. Also try different versions of ATI's drivers for your card. ATI doesn't always produce the best drivers, and sometimes they have funky hacks in them to speed things up. A number of graphics apps, for example, have specific workarounds for "special" optimizations in ATI display drivers.
My system has worked flawless with only 6% of its resources free. When windows gets low on resources all it does is tell me and it wont let me run any more programs until the resources free up. So I dont think thats the problem. I never had this problem with any other browser except mozilla. Thats including Netscape 6.0.
Oh and I am on a 16bit color depth.

Build ID 2001062815 M 0.9.2 Displays 39378 when it is a file. This is an error generated by the DNS server when an unresolvable url is passed to Mozilla. mozilla does not render the code when it is generated, I cannot figure why?

Temporarily moving to future until a milestone can be assigned.

I had this exact problem (and also occasionally saw it in IE). It's an ATI driver problem, fixed by upgrading my graphics driver (download from ATI website, IIRC), and possibly DirectX too. Caveat: the newer version of DirectX broke windows, and I couldn't un-install it (thanks MS!). I fixed that by installing another "new" ATI graphics driver, which was labelled as experimental.

Reporter: are you still experiencing this bug? Have you updated your ATI driver(s)?
marking as wfm due to a lack of response. Please reopen the bug if the problem still exists and report if you updated your ATI drivers.
