Description Mark Rowe (bdash) 2007-10-25 19:58:41 PDT 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ruby/wiki/WhatsNewInLeopard.
2. Look at scroll bar, note tiny thumb.
3. Scroll down.  Keep scrolling.  Nothingness.

Firefox doesn't see this.  This is a recent regression as this does not reproduce in Safari that ships with 10.5.

I saw the bug the first time I loaded the page, but when I reloaded it it had the correct height. I am pretty sure I have seen this behavior on trac.macosforge.org pages with older versions of WebKit (going back at least as far as the one that ships with 10.5). Those pages use <http://trac.macosforge.org/js/bgsize.js> which gives an error on WebKit.

The line that throws the exception is:

		document.bggradientimg.height=newheight;

TypeError: Undefined value

That javascript (and layout in general) is no longer used on macosforge. I think this is fixed.

The trac.macosforge.org site has changed.  There is no Internet Archive saved for this URL.  Moving to RESOLVED/FIXED.
