Comment 21 for bug 193578

I have since switched to using Kubuntu Intrepid and have not (yet) noticed
this issue. When I filed this bug report I was using Ubuntu 8.04. I did see
the same problem in Ubuntu 8.10 however. There are many people who have
experienced this problem. I realise it is not a critical bug but at times it
can be a nuisance. It certainly interferes with normal use of the computer.
I hope the bug continues to receive some attention since many other people
have indicated they experience it.

I can tell you that this bug happens with any fast scrolling of any
application where scrolling is possible. It does not only happen with
FireFox. It is common with FireFox since FireFox is a common application to
have a window large enough for a lot of scrolling. It also does not only
happen with Rhythmbox, I have been able to make totem sound cut out by fast
and prolonged scrolling. But Rhythmbox seems a bit more sensitive.
