Details

1. Load http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ in one browser window.
2. Load data:text/html,<body bgcolor="green"> in another Mozilla window.
3. Alt+tab between the two windows several times.

Result: when I switch from the green window to the bugzilla page, a *pink* 
caret appears (on top of the green background), and then the rest of the 
bugzilla page appears and the caret becomes black and starts blinking normally.

Expected: the bugzilla window should appear all at once, or at least in a more 
orderly fashion (only apply 'invert' to things in the same window, etc).

Note: it doesn't matter that the second window is a Mozilla window.  It could 
be an IE window with the same dark background.
I can reproduce this. I would guess that the caret is doing a synchronous paint
which is causing it to appear before the background is painted.

Has things improved now with the fix for bug 287813?
WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060421 Minefield/3.0a1.  I don't know if it's because of the fix for bug 287813, or because I'm now using Windows XP and I'm now on a different computer, or what.
