Same results as Ralph. I'm running Matrox G200 with 2.54.130 driver.
My three Netscapes (2.02, 4.04, and 4.61) display the text correctly.
Mozilla VACPP 0.9.2 and IBM Web Browser display the text correctly.
Opera (OS/2) displays correctly. Mozilla 0.9.3 (both VACPP and EMX)
overlay the text from multiple pages onto my screen.
[Netscape 4.61, IBM Web Browser, and Mozilla VACPP 0.9.2 - all treated
the text background strangely. The top (many scrolls in extent) and
bottom (many scrolls in extent) of the page were displayed using
what looked like the browser's 'default' background color; middle
(many scrolls in extent) of the page was displayed using near-white
as the background color.] [Note: When I scrolled 0.9.3, the middle
part of the page (that had the white background in 0.9.2) appeared to
have the text from previously rendered screens *cleared* before the
current screen was displayed; whereas screens from the top part and
from the bottom part appeared to be displayed *without* clearing the
previous screen from the text. (It's amusing to scroll 0.9.3 -- the
display gets blacker and blacker as more black text gets added but
existing black text does not get erased.) ]
