Firefox 3.05 under Linux: Scrolling results in page blur

[vainov]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This problem seem to happen only when Firefox is in maximized mode:
Scrolling in a Web page, using the right-side scrollbar, results in rendering problems; some parts appear more than once (repeaded) while others are missing. The repeaded sections are not by text line, but rather seem to be by some sort of 'scroll-unit'.
This problem does not occur when scrolling by using pageUp/pageDown keys or by scrolling by cllicking in the scroll bar area (rather than dragging the ruler).

Switching to a different tab, and then returning to the original tab, results in a well-rendered page.

The problem appeared recently (maybe when upgrading to Firefox 3.05).

[Oli Wade (olithered)]
