Test case demonstrating the bug

Overview:
Setting the poster attribute of a video element before its src attribute can cause the poster not to be shown at all.

Steps to reproduce:
Check the attached test case. The first video element sets poster before src when loading a track, the second src before poster.

Actual result:
More often than not, no poster is shown on the first video (sometimes it works when viewing the page for the first time, so try several times).

Expected result:
The first video element should behave like the second one.

Platform:
Tested in 10.7.1 with Safari 5.1 and r94906, and I know this bug was already around in Safari 5.0+.

Marking as "works for me" because I am unable to reproduce this with TOT. I assume this has been fixed in the nearly two years since it was filed, but please reopen if you are still able to reproduce it.

The bug is still there with r154377. You need to reload the page once to see it happen though, but then it happens consistently whenever you reload.

I can't reproduce it no matter how many times I reload the page. I will try with other hardware.

Doesn't reproduce for me either.
