I have an AMD 1Ghz, about 300MB RAM,
Voodoo3 AGP, about 20GB HDD IDE.
9.0 Final
RC1 and 9.0 Final Mozilla 1.1
Quite often when browsing around the web, a pice of
text somewhere in the page will be "wierded out".
The frequency of this problem is... almost guaranteed to happen
reading a long news article... somewhere in one line or so, some
portion of text will come out strange-ified.
When I highlight this text in the html page, it appears normal,
and after turning off the highlight, the font remains fine/legible.
( Like, it renders the font into video memory bad, and then
under certain circumstances it must re-render the video memory
and will fix itself )
Another aspect of this problem is that it appears to be related
to Scrolling in the page. Scrolling back very slowly I can
sometimes get the particular broken text to rectify itself.
( Very telling what's really going on in the guts of the rendering
engine )
The problem appears limited to Mozilla 1.1
What do you think ? Legitimate bug ? Or maybe my AMD has that
64MB thingy problem... and I should do something to my lilo.conf...
?
