When I open multiple tabbed webpages, ie like 20-30 or so (this machine has
512Megs of ram) the following bug occurs:

When I opened 20-30 tabbed windows, I noticed that if I went from Tab A to tab
B, nothing changed on the screen.

This is really a refresh bug.  I could start to see Tab B only after I scrolled
down the page.

its like going from www.msn.com to www.cnn.com, and then only seeing the
difference once you start to scroll down the page.  

Since this only happens when multiple tabs are open, perhaps it has to do
something with lack of RAM?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a webpage, and middle click on 20+ or so links
2. Wait 4-8 seconds
3. then try clicking across the tabs.  The odd one wont load properly.

Actual Results:  
The aforementioned problem in the "details" section occured.

Expected Results:  
It should've displayed the tabbed page,
