Screen Blinks in Full Screen VIew - Firefox

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13)

1. Go to a website that has tool tips such as www.google.com
2. Now place your pointer over the search box without clicking it. You get a
tooltip displaying "Google Search". So far perfect; the screen did not blink
when displaying the tooltip.
3. Now press F11 or manually go to Full Screen View and stay at www.google.com
4. Now place your pointer over the search box like you did in step 2. PROBLEM;
you get the tooltip displayed but your screen blinked while displaying the tool
tip.

This bug ONLY occurs in the linux version. It does not occur in windows. I have
confirmed it on several Debian based OSes such as Ubuntu (both x32 and x64)

Reproducible: Always

Expected Results:
The screen must not blink when displaying the tool tip in Full Screen Mode.

This bug had been reported upstream but I don't know if it is a problem with firefox or with Gnome/Ubuntu. Here is the upstream report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509253
