[Bug 117835] Report Needed

[cteegarden]

I've spent time today trying to reproduce the problem I reported
yesterday.  It doesn't seem to be happening but I'll continue trying off
and on.

One good data point - it was the GE "Ecomagination" ads.  In firefox,
they used to automatically slide the bottom edge downward, obliterating
the article text and then retracting automatically.   I would have to do
a copy/paste to an editor to read the text that wasn't repainted.  My
guess is it's very poorly written javascript.

Now you have to mouse over a pointer on the bottom of the ad to get it
to slide down.  The problem with the link I sent you is that it's for a
news article and they rotate through various advertisements so it's not
that helpful.  At least this way, you have a chance of reproducability
if you can find a web-based cache of their site.

regards,
Chris

  This appears to be related to the ad that automatically slides down the
  page as it's shown on the pages where this has occurred.
