I spoke to Linden Labs about this a long time ago, I believe this is a
driver issue, do you get same results in Second Life, at the time I noticed
this i was having same problem in SL and OpenSim, and one of the Lindens
seemed somewhat unaware of the issue, and after asking others about it i
recall the answer being its a driver problem with video cards. If you could
test in Second Life that would be great.
