I'll be overjoyed when this bug is fixed, even if only in Gecko 1.9, but I'll believe it when I see it in a Sm trunk nightly.

That page applies only to Fedora and Ubuntu distributions of Firefox. I use Mozilla distributions of both Fx2 (Gecko 1.8+) and SeaMonkey (Gecko 1.9a), as downloaded straight from ftp.mozilla.org, currently the following:

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070131 BonEcho/2.0.0.2pre" - Build ID: 2007013104
Configure arguments: --enable-application=browser --enable-update-channel=nightly --enable-update-packaging --disable-debug '--enable-optimize=-Os -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -gstabs+' --disable-tests --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft --disable-freetype2 --enable-svg --enable-canvas --enable-static --disable-shared

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070131 SeaMonkey/1.5a" - Build ID: 2007013101
Configure arguments: --enable-application=suite --disable-tests --enable-extensions=default,tasks --without-system-nspr --without-system-jpeg --without-system-zlib --without-system-png --without-system-mng --disable-debug '--enable-optimize=-O2 -gstabs+' --enable-crypto --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft --disable-freetype2 --disable-xprint --disable-canvas --disable-svg

Both of them exhibit the bug, both with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO unset and with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0 . Any ideas?
