@Tom Jaeger, I think the original poster referred to downscaling. However, I've only been able to reproduce anomalies when upscaling. Having said this, I checked bug #217908 but it refers to blurred images when upscaling. In the example attached above, the image is not blurred when scaled but distorted (straight lines in the original are broken in the upscaled version) so it appears to be a different problem. I'll check if the smooth scaling packages in your PPA solves this issue when I am back home and have access to the laptop that shows this issue (so sometime w/c 20th July). Zuban, if you can do the same and check whether Tom's smooth scaling packages solve your problem, that'd be great. You can find Tom's post that links to his PPA here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/217908/comments/44
