I see. Thanks for the tip.

Well, I did some more investigations regarding this bug, so I wanted to
update my bug report with two new findings.

First, simply clicking the URL and pressing Return to reload the page
from cache seems to be enough to provoke it, and second, it only happens
when I activate the CSS 1.0/style sheets option, so it seems to be
related to this function.

That's not much, I admit, but at least it provides a starting point.

Regards,

Udo
