marquees do not display correctly

[Willy]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Marquees that display correctly under Firefox 2.0.0.14 and IE 6 & 7 get trashed under Firefox 3b5. The marquee runs from right to left as it should, but the line of text seems to be missing the bottom 80% of the line. Examples may be found at http://www.shepherdrescue.org. There is normally one marquee, and sometimes there are two or more. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 on this machine, having previously used 7.10 and a few others. This is the only version of Firefox that has shown the problem. My other Windows machines on Firefox 2.0.0.14 display the marquees correctly.

Please attach a screenshot of this issue.
