If so, it is a GRADD bug.
Pretty much anytime you see it work on one machine and not another, it's probably a video driver bug.

This is way weird.I have a jpeg rendering problem with Mozilla
on _two_ different PC's (DEC Starion w/Evergreen accelerator
and AMD K6-233), with _two_ different videos (S3 Trio32,
and Matrox Mistique), *and* with _two_ different OS'es:
Warp Connect (FP40) and WARP 4 (FP13).The jpeg's render with false colors --- in many cases, very
nearly like a color negative might appear. As well, there
is Great Blocky-ness which does not show on other browsers:
NS 4.61, NS 2.02, and (yeeech) IE and NS 6 (on a 3rd PC.)
The problem is seen with local jpeg's (files), or with any web
page having jpeg's.I can get gif rendering to go kah-kah by bring up NS 4.61. A
gif being correctly displayed will go weird on me when the focus
changes to NS, and then stays 'stuck' that way -- even when I
shift focus back to Mozilla and do a RELOAD.
Often, the simple backgroung colors of web pages are way wrong --
in Mozilla -- when both Mozilla and NS are up.
But, the jpeg rendering is kah-kah from the git-go -- without
any NS 'involvement'.It's happening with _two_ different Mozilla's: 1.0 and 1.1.a.
I just finished installing 1.1.a on both machines, and was
confounded to see that the problem remains.I groped around in Google Groups Search, and found only
one thread 'close' to what I am experiencing. In it I
found a referral to LIBPATH 'conflicts'. I did find
I had a x:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM (for 4.61) in my LIBPATH. I
removed it -- re-booted -- and, no joy! The problem remains.
(And, it appears, it was not needed for NS 4.61, anyway...)To further eliminate any 'conflicting' DLL conditions, I've
re-booted and run _nothing_ but the Mozilla(s). No joy.
(I have NS 4.61 _and_ 2.02 installed on both PC's, also)The only common factors' (that I can see) betwix the 2 PC's are
1. The Mozilla(s)
2. 1024 x 768 x 256 videoOh, by the way, for another data point: I previously had an older
Mozilla 0.9.???? (no way to remember/discover that now) installed
and, tho' I did not use _that_ thing much, the problem was *not*
present in _that_ release/version --- ......as far as I can remember.Does anybody have any ideas?
Any thoughts on additional debug 'activities' I could undertake?I really, Really, REALLY like the features/functions/options/et.al.
in this new(est) Mozilla -- and I'd like to make it my (our) default
browser here (even replacing IE on my First Wife's PC.)
But, I *really* need to beat this jpeg rendering 'bug' into submission.TIA,
Jonesy
