The problem is IMHO 'in firefox', probably cairo, as that does the rendering (?!). On software based X servers the problem doesn't go away. The beta 180.16 drivers from nvidia make the problem dissapear on a PC.. with an NVIDIA card. ATI never had that problem I think, from googling around, and testing at work with ATI boxes on ubuntu 8.04.

SunRays 1g however have an all software X server, and the problem is really bad there. Same on PS3 framebuffer X server. It is escpecially the case when the webpage must be re-rendered for some reason, e.g. on slashdot when going through the comments, the div box at the left on the page stays at the same height. Regular large pages that are static don't have a problem.
