I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 with Firefox 1.07. Are you saying you 
didn't test this on Windows?

I can reproduce it consistently, and make nearly all the boxes disappear 
simply by inserting my cursor at the beginning of any heading and 
dragging through the content past the bottom of the box. If I keep 
dragging downward, I can make all of the boxes (except the purple one) 
scroll upward and off screen.

1)http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/onetruelayout/example/rounded

2) insert cursor just before text "Block2" in the green inner box

3) keeping your cursor pressed, drag downward (don't worry that you 
don't see the content being selected...that's another bug, I guess) but 
keep dragging past the bottom of the box

Results: the boxes, corners and contents scroll upward, disappearing 
eventually.

4) now insert the cursor in the next row's heading and repeat. These 
will scroll away, too, same for the third row's boxes

Basically, it doesn't matter which heading you start with...a row of 
boxes scrolls away, if you keep dragging. It's possible to end up with 
only the purple right-hand box and its top corners and content go 
missing....

As well, you cannot get the boxes back by reloading the page or hitting 
back button and returning, though you can click the example link on :

http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/onetruelayout/examples

(round corners example) and that will bring back the boxes.

Anyone else, since Alex needs confirmation?
