Duplicate of bug 112673?

I think so -- but want also to note that I see this bug on Windows 98 -- so it's
not just a Linux problem ....

Could you try a new nightly and try to find an easy way to reproduce this?
Thank's for testing mozilla.

It is hard to reproduce, at least on Win98.  It happens irregularly, at
the worst of times.

Ok. I can reproduce it (more or less) at:
http://news.com.com/2100-1001-870805.html
on Win98, MOzilla 2002031104 and later builds,
with font size set at 100%, 16MB 3dfx Voodoo 
3000D graphics card.   Mozilla Font settings:

Proportional:  Sans-serif  16pt
 sans-serif:   Arial

To reproduce:

1) load page
2) scroll down page.
3) select and deselect blocks of text

should see the text subtly shift to the left/right, and become
both more and less 'jaggy'

Something I noticed today was that on www.osnews.com
the borders around the article titles become jaggy when the text
contained inside them does. I noticed this on other websites aswell.
I don't know if this is the same problem or not.
