Binary package hint: fennec
I installed fennec (1.0~a2-0ubuntu1) on a netbook with 1024x600 resolution (running Lucid development). When I just load an arbitrary page without resizing the window, it works fine. But if I expand the window horizontally, eventually it shows the "Tabs" sidepanel.
At this point, the sidepanel covers the left hand side of the web page, rather than the webpage moving to the right of the "Tabs" panel. Thereafter, all web pages are messed up, even if the window is resized.
In particular, the left-hand side of the page is consistently obscured, as if rendering started from the left-hand side of the "Tabs" panel.
Steps to duplicate:
1. Install Fennec on a "high resolution" system (1024 pixels wide or more; POSSIBLY 800 pixels)
2. Load any web page. It should display properly.
3. Expand the Fennec window horizontally until the tabs panel appears.
Expected result: Page moves to the right of the Tabs pane.
Actual result: Tabs pane displays on top of the left side of the web page.
--(makes navigation very difficult)
4. Reload page--makes no difference
5. Shrink the window horizontally.
Expected result: Display fixes itself
Actual result: Right-hand side of display (far-right page, "controls" panel) hides; display of page stays same.
6. Reload page.
Expected behavior: (???)
Actual behavior: Visible portion of web page moves to the margin, hiding a section the width of the Tabs panel
7. Repeat cycle
Expected behavior: (Assumed it should have normalized)
Actual behavior: Repeats the bug, "eating" more of the web page
(This may be an "upstream" bug, I seem to recall seeing it with Fennec on Windows--Not sure, though)
Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. I think this bug is fixed upstream with the release of Fennec 1.0 which should be getting into Lucid soon. Could you please confirm it's fixed once Lucid is upgraded?
