Mozilla applications cause occasional visual glitches

[komputes]

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

I have occasionally noticed visual glitches in firefox and thunderbird where the contents seems skewed as if it had been though a distortion plugin. I was lucky enough to catch a screenshot of this glitch and was wondering if this has already been reported on lp or upstream bugzilla. Any confirmations of this would also be helpful.

Packages affected:
ii firefox 3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 meta package for the popular mozilla web browser
ii thunderbird 2.0.0.22+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 mail/news client with RSS and integrated spam filter support

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty

you no longer support firefox-2.0(firefox) so updated to firefox-3.0

Do you also see this in firefox-3.5.

I have not yet experienced this in firefox 3.5.1~hg20090714r26057+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~jaunty. I will update this bug if I get the visual glitch in firefox 3.5.

However this issue can be seen in the current version of thunderbird 2.0.0.22

Thanks for now i marked tbird as incomplete. I dont have alot of time today.
Please try with new profile. rename the one you have and run
thunderbird. Please only set up one account in the new profile until you
can reproduce it.
What theme are you using?
Leave RSS "for lack of better words at the moment" account out for test.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu development version (10.04). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect 401147, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
