Webpage bounces after FF window is resized in Ubuntu Hardy Heron

[PacoGuy]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The webpage being viewed bounces up and down after a resize of the Firefox Window. Seems to happen regardless of the website being viewed.

The page bounces up and down as if I am hitting the up and down arrows simultaneously.

This only occurs if the page is resized to anything smaller than a little more than half the size of my monitor.

Firefox 3 installed on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. Version: 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

Package was installed with the Synaptic Package Manager after the official release of FF3, no previous instances of FF3 beta were installed at the time of install. FF2 is still installed however.

Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Can you check if your issue is similar to bug 233824? Especially check if the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToT_JjrwlZ0) display the same signs as yours.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

When I see Youtube, there is not resize of the page of Firefox.
If the two toolsbars are in the right side of the screen before begin
youtube or other page, the real size is like I have one toolsbar on the
right side.
Bests regards

I had FF bounce on me just today and I am not running on Ubuntu or any Linux when it happened. I am running FF 3.0.1 on Windows XP. I guess XP means Xtra Problems.

The bouncing I saw was like what was in the youtube video but strangely, my bouncing stopped when the youtube page was being viewed. It did start up again but I can't seem to find a cause and effect relationship. I have resized and it sometimes makes no difference and sometimes stops the bouncing.

I don't know if this helps or not but I run with many tabs open and when FF is in "bounce-mode", all the tabs show the bouncing. It makes clicking on a link a little tricky.

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.

I actually gave up on ubuntu a while ago, had nothing to do with the
community or the strength of the distro but I just wanted different things
that Ubuntu couldn't offer in its current form. I greatly appreciate the
follow up and wanted to let you know that I am not using the current release
even though I downloaded Ibex on the day it came out (mainly as a show of
solidarity to the linux community).

Keep up the great work and Linux for Life.

Thanks
PacoGuy

Thanks for explaining PacoGuy. So I am closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

The problem persist.
The windows don't resize with the two toolbar, even with the wallpaper.
