When I go to the above link and click my way through the slides, I get to about 
slide 15 and the problem starts. It also happens regularly when just browsing. 
The browser will just stop painting graphics at all, so that if you bring 
another application to front and switch back to mozilla, garbage from the other 
app will be visible in mozilla's window. Buttons may appear when the mouse 
moves over them. If I make the window smaller, the problem will go away. If I 
make it bigger again, it will continue.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
see above
Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
see above

I just installed a plain mozilla 1.6 complete, and it does just as mozilla 1.5 
did. IE and other applications never do this.

I will try to attach some detailed system information.

My graphics card is a 32MB Gforce 2 MX 400. The drivers are not very old. (And 
the problem was also present with the previous driver I had.)

This looks like a dup of bug 205893.

Or this could also be a dup of bug 204374.
I'm not sure which one it is.

I tried setting 'browser.cache.memory.capacity' to 4096 in about:config, and the
problem seems to have disappeared for the example URL.

Problem is possibly the same as others, but I reproduce it using few images that
are large, not many that are small :)
