  2. From the top, scroll to the bottom of the page using the down arrow key.
  3. From the top, scroll to the bottom of the page by using the scroll bar, at various speeds.
  4. Repeat 1-3, but from bottom to top.

Process for reporting issues

  1. Take a screenshot of the browser window, scrolled to the problematic area (no PDFs, please)
    • Note: You may need to use an application like KSnapshot to take the screen shot on a delay if you can easily reproduce the bug
  2. Get the user agent string
  3. Upload the image and add [[Category:Planet browser compatibility tests]] to the description
  4. Use the following syntax and add it under the proper section:
{{browser bug
|image=Image:Name of image you uploaded.png
|useragent=user agent string
|opsys=operating system name and version
|browser=browser name and version
|problem=description of problem
|signature=~~~~
}}

Process for reporting non-issues

  1. Get the user agent string
  2. Use the following syntax and add it under the proper section:
{{browser ok
|useragent=user agent string
|opsys=operating system name and version
|browser=browser name and version
|signature=~~~~
}}

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.

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).

This is my first attempt at adding to a wiki, so I am sure there are some things wrong here. 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 ? :)

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.
