[Xsltforms-support] Firefox rendering issue - anyone know a workaround?

[C. M. Sperberg-M. <cm...@bl...>]

Many of us who use XSLTForms will, I suspect, have encountered a rendering
bug in Firefox (at least on Mac OS X, and apparently sometimes also on 
other platforms) that causes the page to be laid out as if the window were
about half again as wide, and somewhat taller, than it is in fact.  Resizing
the window causes the document to be re-rendered, and then everything
is fine.

Some further description is available, for the curious, at 

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640390

I'm encountering this with a form I'm working on which needs to be usable
by as broad a spectrum of users as possible -- including users of Firefox
under OS X -- and it occurs to me that someone on this list may have faced
the same challenge in the past and found a way to cause Firefox to render
the form correctly without user interaction.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  

I wonder (for example) whether listening for the xforms-ready event and
then firing an action of some sort might succeed in causing Firefox to redraw
the screen automatically.   I'll do some experimentation over the next 
week or so, but if anyone already knows a way to handle this, I'd be 
grateful for a pointer or two.
