282415 - smooth scrolling slower on pages with non-scrolling background images

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 90198

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

With smooth scrolling turned on, when I use the mouse wheel to scroll a page
that has a non-scrolling background image, it is much slower (>3x?) than
scrolling on a page that does not have a background image, or that has a
background image that scrolls with the document.

This is a dupe of either bug 90198, bug 244862, or bug 244506.

See also bug 201307 and bug 242364.

The page scrolls fluidly for me.

The background picture is

html {
	background: transparent url(/kjell/kjbkg.jpg) no-repeat top right fixed;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	}

But I don't know what specific bug this dupes to.

Duping to the more general catch-all bug.
