Bug Description

It's a quite well known behaviour of many browsers I've tried for even ages ...
Please visist a silly frameset
at http://test.lgb.hu/ I've set up. If you scroll down the second frame, the
image of moon Dione will corrupt (horizontal white lines appears). Scrolling up
and down "fixes" the image again ... This behaviour is quite annoying for me but
of course it's not "fatal" only ugly.

Thanks for your bug. It works fine for me. How do you scroll (mouse, keyboard,
scrollbar, ...)? What version of epiphany-browser/firefox do you use? Do you
have the issue with firefox?

Well, sorry for the lack of enough information.

It's 1.8.2-0ubuntu1 version of epiphany. I've just checked firefox (version:
1.0.7-0ubuntu20), it seems it hasn't got this problem at least now. I've also
tested galeon (version: 1.3.21-6ubuntu3) it hasn't got this problem either right
now.

Errr ... Interesting. Without visible TAB bar it works! But if more than one tab
is open in a window (so tab bar became visible) it *has* this bug! For epiphany
only. Firefox and galeon seems not to have the problem with or without tab bar.

Triggering the problem in epiphany can be done by scrolling, any solution can do
this, either mouse wheel, with the slider, or even with keyboard. The only
difference is only the "density" of "buggy" lines, if you do it smoothly they're
almost corrupt the whole image. Ehm, sorry for my poor English I hope you can
get get the meaning of my report anyway :)

Also, any activition which cause to refresh window content (eg: switching
desktop with desktop switchter to another one and than switch back, or moving a
window which cause epiphany refresh the window content) restores the normal
state, without the corruptions! I've also put two screenshots onto page
http://test.lgb.hu/ one shows the corrupted and one the "normal"
scenery of my desktop.

I can't reproduce this, neither with Tab bar nor without it.

I can reproduce it both on i386 and AMD64 platform, with fresh breezy install
too. But now I've just the idea that there is some difference between eg your
(and default) and my desktop. And yes, I'm not using the Ubuntu "human" theme.
And yes, with "human" there is NO bug! However with "clearlooks" theme I have
got this buggy behaviour! Now what's up? It's the bug of the clearlooks theme
itself (how?), GTK, or what can I do to avoid this bug? Should I avoid using
clearlooks?

Using latest dapper updates, from the 27th Nov 2005 - I also can't reproduce that.

I haven't tried with dapper, only with up-to-date breezy, both on i386 and amd64 ...
If I keep open gnome-theme-manager, I can switch between buggy and normal
behaviour just with switching between
clearlooks and human theme ...

Seems to be fixed in Dapper - reopen with instructions how to reproduce, if you still experience in Dapper. Thanks.
