Sites are not displayed properly

[Eungkyu Song]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox on Ubuntu does not display http://www.programming-challenges.com/ properly especially on default setting of Intrepid. However, Firefox on Windows display the same site correctly.

The problem is the left sidebar. Firefox on Ubuntu does not display login input box and other links at left sidebar. It only displays "Login: Username:". However, on Windows, It displays input box of Username and password and other links.

There's a mistake that attachment "firefox-display-bug" doesn't have a extension.
It's a png image and its name should've been "firefox-display-bug.png"

The site appears fine on my set up. However I did notice that if I make the window half the width of my screen that I could get the site to look like your screen shot. So at a certain browser width the site changes appearance. Are you comparing Windows to Ubuntu on the same computer? If not make sure the resolution of both set ups is the same so you are comparing apples to apples.

Thanks for the report. I have the same experience as duanedesign. In full screen it looks correct, but if a make the windows more and more narrow the login box to the left disappears at some point. I just tried Firefox on Windows in VMware and the behavior is exact the same.

I have used Firefox 3.0.5 in Ubuntu 8.10 and FireFox 3.0.3 in Windows.

I have marked the bug as invalid as it appears to be an issue with the website and not Firefox.

I checked this issue again. However, I failed to reach the same result. In windows the sidebar is getting shorter as the firefox window smaller. But in Ubuntu 8.10 the width of the sidebar is fixed regardless of the size of firefox window size.

Aside from the website's problem, it's very strange that the same version of firefox render differently.
