Yep, exactly as Donna described. But...I can also make everything
disappear by clicking on the little square box in the top right with the
[x] in it. ;) Seriously though, who does this (besides us)? And is this
"problem" unique to this method? I suppose someone wanting to nick your
copy would do this - nice anti-theft device Alex!

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/rou
nded
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?
