Hi,

can you please attach a simple html page that shows this problem?

Can you also attach the crash report in /var/crash or obtain a backtrace by following the directions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs

I do not see this running Feisty at this time. I have formulated several tests regarding this and other things, and I consistently do not see the claimed behavior. Please update this bug if you can provide more specifics to reproduce it that might be helpful. The URL for my most outstanding test is as follows: http://www.eskimo.com/~xeno/ubug110265.html
