Now that this text box has gotten full enough to have its own scrollbar, I observe the same behavior (using the mouse wheel) when scrolling the text box. I have seen several other bugs which involved this issue only on some webpages, and generally they are older bugs, while this is clearly a new issue. I was running Firefox 2.0.0.6 prior to the Gutsy upgrade with no problem. I have also tried
$ export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
$ firefox
, as recommended in Bug #74116, but this did not help either.
I had the same problem but I've fixed it.
You just have to make sure the right video driver is loaded in your xorg. You will probably need to manually edit your xorg.conf.
For example, I have Intel on-board video and I added:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Video Card"
Driver "i810"
VideoRam 128000
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection
and change your "Screen" to use the right device:
Section "Screen"
...
Device "Intel Video Card"
...
EndSection
