epiphany doesn't always display page's css correctly (64-bit only)

[Mark Dillavou]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Epiphany seems to randomly display pages incorrectly. These pages normally display correctly in epiphany, but sometimes it looks like epiphany is ignoring the page's css. Reloading the page will rarely fix the problem, however, closing and reopening epiphany seems to always fix this. I have only been able to reproduce this under 64-bit gutsy. My 32-bit gutsy machine doesn't have this problem. This problem seems to happen a lot on last.fm and facebook, but occasionally happens on other sites too.

Thanks for your report, to be confirmed by someone with a 64 bit arch.

Do you also get the issue using firefox?

[Mark Dillavou (line72)]

I haven't used firefox extensively enough to know if it happens. I'll use firefox for the next week and report back the results.

[Mark Dillavou (line72)]

I have been using firefox (2.0.0.11) for several days and have not experienced any of the problems with it that I experienced with epiphany. Another problem I had with epiphany that may or may not be related is that occasionally the Save As dialog would look like firefox's instead of epiphany's, except none of the buttons or options would work, and I would have to kill epiphany.

Another site that gave me problems with epiphany often was gmail. It would render correctly, but I couldn't have gmail open in two tabs at once. It would always time out in the second tab and take me to the html interface instead. At this point, gmail would usually stop refreshing correctly, and I usually had to restart epiphany to get it working again.

is this still an issue with latest package on a hardy installation?

[Mark Dillavou (line72)]

I haven't had a chance to try hardy yet. Since this is a work machine, I probably won't be able to upgrade it anytime soon.

i have seen this too: bug #226521

seem to be quite consistant on the manchester city council pages (appart from the front page which always renders properly).

I just checked on i386, and it happens there too.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
