In the page http://www.sashadesign.com/ (and pretty much all pages on this
site), there is a container layer (id="bzzz") that sometimes doesn't show
properly. If I scroll down-up a bit, or minimize-maximize, everything gets
fixed. This happens randomly.
I also mentioned this here:

It seems OK in:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040227
Firefox/0.8.0+

If possible could you see if the problem still happens with a nightly build please:

A minimized testcase would help here.

I already mentioned that scrolling or minimizing-maximizing fixes the problem. I
just discovered that if I select the address bar, the problem gets fixed too.
