Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Partial borders of very long blocks only show the border along some of their length.

In the attached file, the <pre> with a 'border-left' CSS styling only displays the left-hand border for some lines in the <pre>. On the other lines, the border evidently still exists, but is drawn transparently. The lines where borders are drawn change when the window is resized - if you don't see a left-hand border, scroll up or down the page.

Thank you for taking time to report this bug. I can not reproduce this on the latest Intrepid. Is this still an issue for you?

Yeah, I'm still getting this. I'm still on Hardy, but my UA string is now: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121622 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.5. I've just tried in safe mode - no difference.

Thanks for bringing up this bug. I had a page displaying a very long list of search results on one of my web pages. In Firefox 3.0.6 border colour only appeared when you scrolled well down the page then disappeared again as you scrolled further.

To make this short and sweet here is the original bit of CSS and below it the replacemet CSS which resolved the problem for me:

Original
border-left:150px solid #A98A67;
border-right:140px solid #A98A67;

Replacement
border: 150px solid #A98A67;
border-right: 140px solid #A98A67;
border-top: 1px solid #A98A67;
border-bottom: 1px solid #A98A67;

Clumsy I know but it worked. I had to have top and bottom border even though I didn't want them, and I had to keep the same colour too or it didn't work.

Must've been fixed sometime b/c this can't be reproduced in newer firefoxes anymore
