A wikipedia page is not redrawn properly

[Remove Me]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

firefox 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
64bit system.

This page

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:787-flight-deck.jpg

if scrolled down to the bottom, never redraws. For instance,
if I switch to another workspace and switch back, only the
frame of the browser window is shown properly. Inside the
frame the picture of the previous workspace is shown.

Hitting Refresh (or Ctrl-R) does not change anything,
moving mouse around the page redraws the links,
but for example link hints just smudge the window
(drawn but not overdrawn with the page underneath).

Please let us know if you are using KDE or gnome, and if you are using compiz.

[Remove Me (remove-me)]

No and no (XFCE).
No compiz (but it's possible, the machine has an intel chipset).

I'm attaching dmesg and Xorg.0.log (sorry, should have done than in the first place)
of 2.6.27-rc2 boot (but 2.6.26 has the problem as well, and it looks exactly same, I tried).

And the X log

I am facing the same problem. The pages are totally messed up. I am using Gnome. I have the latest version of FireFox 3.0.1 and the latest kernel *19 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I have compiz installed.

Some pages that do not work properly:

I have the same problem detailed above. The symptoms occur on those Wikipedia pages as well as some other pages.

Kernel: Linux tc2401 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
firefox version is firefox 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Intel motherboard DG965WH
Compiz disabled, using GNOME 2.22.3

The problem occurs even with a fresh profile with no extensions, plugins, or preferences modified.

This bug is gone for me in Ibex. I don't know why, but at least it's fixed.

Reported fixed.
