Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Divs with CSS overflow property set to "auto" randomly slide from "bottom right" to "top left".

To trigger the bug, just open the sample code below and reload several times. Note that it is really random : it can happen three times in a row as well as not at all ten times in a row. The phenomenon is much more noticeable with heavier HTML pages.

Nota: only Karmic seems to be affected. At least, Jaunty is not.
Nota bis: both Firefox 3.0 and Firefox 3.5 are affected.

HTML sample code:

<html>

<head><title>CSS overflow property</title></head>

<body>

    <div style="overflow: auto;">

</body>
