161862 - borders, text, etc. missing at first load but appear when scrolled

Description

[nick findley]

i just redesigned my weblog and when i loaded it i noticed that several segments
of my right border were missing--random parts, only in the area that initially
fits on the screen.

the border is mended by scrolling down past the affected area then back up,
minimizing then restoring, opening a window over it, or in any other way hiding
the area. only the part that is scrolled over/covered with another window is
repaired. all very strange, and always repeatable.

i also noticed a similar problem at http://www.morons.org/ . some of their
bylines and such get cut off mid sentence, or rather mid-caharacter, so you'll
see like half of an "8" or something. it can be fixed just like i mentioned
above. this is kind of dangerous since actual content is vanishing...my border
issue is rather irrelevant, but i'm curious nonetheless.

thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Reporter: Which build are you using of Mozilla? If it is more than a couple of
weeks old, could you try with a recent build? Which video adapter do you have?
