display messed up

Expected Results:  
scrolled down with a proper update of the display area

Build 1.4a is not from 2003-03-12. Do you have Multizilla installed?

Please try a clean install into another directory and use an empty profile, in
case you have not done so. Do you then still see the problem?

Can you attach a screenshot ?
Have you enabled Smoothscrolling ?

Attachment: the screen defects during scrolling

the attached image shows the corruption of the screen area that's being
scrolled in during a scrolling action. The corruption disappears when I force a
redraw (e.g. change window size). I don't know how to en/disable smooth
scrolling. This problem persists when I make a clean install and run that using
a new profile.

The screen update problems also occur whenever I scroll through the items of any
of the menus or if I go through the options in "preferences"

Probably related to bug 204374.
Does this still happen with a recent build?
Does it happen from the start, or after browsing a while?

I can not reproduce the error with the 1.6 release version. It seems to have
been  resolved.
