I ran into this bug again and made a few more observations.

Was using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Ubuntu 7.10 to view

http://www.domainbyproxy.com/

First tab displaying this bug was grey.  Opened a few tabs to browse other
sites and they were fine.  Afterwards, directed browser to the problematic
URL on a new tab.  The bug displayed there also, except the page was white
instead of grey.  All subsequent tabs with bug displayed white.

Refreshing, retyping the URL, etc all resulted in the same symptoms - the
document is retrieved as evidenced by the title bar but the page is not
displayed and no context menu appears when right-clicking within the tab.

http://www.domainbyproxy.com/index.html

gives me a 404 page but the bug is still there.

"View"->"View Source" opens source window but does not show any content
initially.

Maximizing, restoring, or resizing the browser/source window will cause
page/source to render.  This remedy works only if the tab is in focus.
Changing size of parent window while another tab is in focus does not render
the page on the tab with bug.

Once the page is rendered correctly on a tab, I wasn't able to recreate the
bug on the same tab.  Bug continues to occur on new tabs, though.

After some time, the bug could not be produced again.

Dunno what's special about the website that could cause this problem.  The
domain name?  DOCTYPE declaration?  Character encoding?

Maybe the problem lies with a component involved in rendering to display
area which is shared by both page and source view windows.

Could it be the proprietary ATI driver I'm using?  But in that case can't
think why the bug applies just to certain sites and doesn't happen all the
time.
