Vertical bar when zoomed in on larger fonts

[Roosje]

Binary package hint: firefox

I have made a screen-shot, dunno how to upload it, but will try.
My eyes are not as good as they used to be, so i always work slightly zoomed in when using firefox, some time ago i started noticing a vertical bar in each text line that had lager fonts then the rest of the page. It is alway at the end of the text line.

Also Happens in: Karmic Current, with firefox 3.5 and 3.6 old install and fresh install, both lucid and karmic, not jaunty.

If any more info is needed, mail me.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please provide specific instructions on how to reproduce this bug? For example, are you changing the minimum font size for Firefox? Are you just zooming in on pages?

The more detailed the instructions, the more likely we will be able to test this bug in order to better understand it.

Thanks in advance!

I am sorry for the very late response,. I am now on Lucid, and kinda funny, the problem is now a horizontal bar. (see 2 latest attachments) change in basic setup in both systems, nv instead of nvidia driver (keep having video tearing troubles) To be more complete in when it happens, using gestures (firegesture) using Zoom - Zoom in 3 times is enough to make it visible.

Font is set to 128 dpi system-wide.

second screenshot when zoomed out to 'normal' size (viewing on lcd tv, 1360x768) hopfull this is enough info to recreate it.

I seem to have made an error in blaming fonts, the horizontal / vertical bar happens with images embedded in text. That is atm the impression i have, and the vertical bar is also there, just sometimes horizontal, sometimes vertical. Could be it has to do with shape of insert, dunno jet.

[Draycen DeCator (ddecator)]

I confirmed this on my system, so I'm changing the status to reflect that. It appears to be related to images based on the testing I've done. I will look upstream to see if this has been reported yet.

[Roosje (wilco-roos)]

Thank you, i hope there is a way to get it fixed.
