Browser matrix

Browsers for their current versions and their previous versions should be tested. The number in each box is the number of bad reports followed by the number of total reports (good plus bad). The smaller the fraction, the better. Bold cells are ones with over 50% bad reports.

Note: It's interesting to note that I just had this happen on fpaste.org, in particular this post at approx line 1200. --Nigel 10:48, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

BAD: Windows XP SP2, Firefox 3: See the screenshot. When scrolling down until a certain point, everything is black, until the very bottom of the page. I have to say that it appears with the exact same machine as the report I made above, which was OK (same machin implies same OS and same browser, no change between the 2 reports).

The directions for reporting this bug are not complete.

BAD: Windows XP SP2, Firefox 3: See the screenshot, the picture from the first post is splitted between the 2 posts... Do I have to mention that is it once again the exact same machin as my 2 other reports ? :)

Fedora, Firefox 2

BAD: Fedora 8, last updated June 17, Firefox 2.0.0.14: Scrolling corrupted horizontally.

[[{{{image}}}|200px]]

User agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080416 Fedora/2.0.0.14-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Description of problem Scrolling corrupted horizontally. User and time Agilmore 18:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC) About half-way down the page, dcrolling appears to move the page behind a horizontal portion of the screen. Moving the mouse away from the browser and back, or running screen shot, resolves the corruption. Therefore, no image. I assumed it was funky html from someone's blog before I saw the entry pointing to this page. Happens when scrolling from top or bottom, with mouse wheel, scroll bar, arrow and page down/page up keys.
