Bug 15038 – Flashing scrollbars

• Status: NEW
• Component: New Bugs

[Jiawei Ye]

When opening the said URL, upon load completion, the scrollbars (both horizontal and vertical) will flash in and out very quickly.

I don't see this with a local debug build of WebKit r25168 with Safari 3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 (522.12.1) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218).

Jiawei, what version of Safari were you using?

[Jiawei Ye]

I am using r25168 and Safari 3.03 beta, both exhibit the same problem

The behavior may be dependent on your browser window size - could you please attach a screenshot?

I'm seeing scrollbars flash when resizing the window, by the way.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce it now that I have rebooted my MBP.

Confirmed with a local debug build of WebKit r25168 with Safari 3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 (522.12.1) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218).

Per Comment #3, you have to make the window fairly big to get it to flash scroll bars when loading.

It also doesn't happen every time you load the page.

Movie of scroll bars flashing

This happened after probably 10-12 attempts to load the page.  It doesn't happen every time--seems to be related to the hard drive image not loading right away combined with the page elements (About Us | Environment | News | Careers)  that get pushed to the right of the page, creating a horizontal scroll bar.
