Bug Description
When editing a text in thunderbird (writing of a new message for example), if i move the text cursor (small flashing vertical bar) by usign arrow keys (left, right, up, down), then the text cursor is displayed at its new position... but it stay displayed at its previous position too. For example, if i keep pressed the left arrow key, there will be a vertical thin black bar between each character from the old position of the cursor up to the new position of the cursor.
This bug exists for thunderbird (it makes thunderbird near unusable). It also exists for firefox (i have the problem writing this bug report). There is no pb with other software (konqueror for example).
I uses kubuntu dapper for amd64, but i reproduced the pb with the live CD ubuntu 6.06 for amd64, and with the live CD ubuntu 6.06 for i586.
For information, my machine is based on a gigabyt k8nf-9 ultra mother board with an amd64 3200+. The graphic card is a leadtek px6200tc-256F128.
I can not reproduce this problem.
I used live CD ubuntu 6.06 and installed it into hard disk. (i386)
I think it may be hardware-specific problem.
