As I e-mailed Steven (who started this thread), I'm not comfortable
with the notion "this is definitely a driver issue". The problem
shows up when the file to be displayed is LONG. Why should the
*driver* care whether the top of the window shows the 513th line
of the file, or the 1537th line of the file. But the *browser*
definitely does care.
It may very well be that the driver is misbehaving. But the fact
that _Netscape_ shows the same URL without problem says to me that
the driver *is* capable of displaying the data correctly. To me, it
seems more likely that it is _Mozilla_ that is making an unusual (or
even incorrect) call upon the video system, which then misbehaves.

I just re-verified, and got the same results as Ralph.
[Note that for both EMX 0.9.1 Build 2001061499 and VACPP 0.9.2 Build
2001062912, my __background__ changes while displaying the text in
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html>. The color used while
scrolling near the beginning and end of the file at this URL seems
to be taken from the browser's 'background' specification; the color
used while scrolling near the middle of the file at this URL seems
to be taken from the file's 'background' specification.]

Yes. As Steven posted earlier, the 0.9.3 "text overlay" problem
shows up when using Mozilla to display __any__ file (e.g., text)
of a sufficient length. Mozilla 0.9.2 does *not* for me show this
"text overlay" problem when displaying the same long text files.
So I would definitely say that it was __0.9.3__ that did something
to bring this problem into prominence.
