display: fixed elements displayed improperly when scrolling up

http://demo.taskfreak.com/ very clearly illustrates this. Resize the window so that a vertical scroll bar can is available, scroll down, then scroll back up.

Same here, but it also seems to happen when scrolling down now. Also, switching to any other application seems to clean up the problem.

This is fixed in my version of Firefox:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)

I will not close now as this may be an outstanding issue in Dapper. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Forest, since nobody has confirmed this in several weeks, we can close it at this time. Thank you for your bug report.

I can confirm this behaviour in Edgy Eft, with Firefox 2.0.0.1, Xorg 7.1.1 and the Nvidia driver.

Thank you for the bug report. Could you please install the firefox-dbg package and try to obtain a backtrace (or crash report) by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Which flash package do you have installed?
Which Java package do you have installed?
Which firefox extensions do you have installed?

I have:

* Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_08-b03, File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so, Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_08
* Shockwave Flash, File name: libflashplayer.so, Shockwave Flash 9.0 d78

I have a large number of extensions installed. However I've just disabled all of them, and it makes no difference.

Firefox does not crash. Therefore I have not tried firefox-dbg- let me know if I should.

Before we can process your bug furhther and triage this upstream, I would like to ensure that you indeed ran without any extension installed. For that, try:

 # firefox -safe-mode

and let us know if the problem has disappeared.

I can confirm that even in safe mode (which I never knew about), the display of the http://demo.taskfreak.com/ screws up on scrolling.

This bug is marked as "Needs Info". What info is still needed? Anything I can help with?

Hmm, I am running 2.0.0.1 on Edgy and I cannot seem to reproduce this bug.

Thanks, Alex.

This has been fixed for me for a while. If anyone is still seeing this issue,
please post your firefox version and the URL that is causing you troubles.

reporter does not see issue anymore. Closing. If this re-pops-up reopen or post new bug.

Thanks.
