* 3 tabs open

Are you actually using an Xlib build?  Or are you using a Gtk one?

More to the point, which exact build did you download?  Or do you build?

Comment 2

[erratico]

I'm sorry.  I think it is the GTK+ version.  You'll be able to tell as I have
put some screenshots in my webspace which I meant to include in the first place:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/amoamasam/mozilla/

XFree86-4.2.1
kernel = 2.4.18-8.2mdk
Linux-Mandrake-8.1

I downloaded mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.3-sea.tar.gz.

WFM, build 2003052223 on mandrake 9.0. The URL mentioned loads fine, and I don't
believe I've ever seen rendering problems like the ones in the screenshots.
Erratico, are you still experiencing this problem?

Comment 6

[erratico]

I'm afraid I can no longer reproduce this as I'm now running MDK-9.1 and
different Mozillae.  The page(s) in question render fine now.
