106011 - while typing or editing in the address bar, artifacts appear

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    2001101117

When typing out URLs by hand in the address bar, at certain letters a series of
small black squares appear over the letters. When the next letter is typed they
disappear again, and will not necessarily reappear if the same URL is entered to
the same point (ie backspace, and retyping).

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type out a long URL, at each letter watch the address bar
2.Occaisionally  (every ~15-20 characters) a row of black dots will appear over
the entire adress bar.

3. You may also paste in a large URL to the address bar and backspace over the
line, by each individual character, and get the same row of dots/squares.

Actual Results:  A series of black dots / artifacts appeared in the adress bar
over the letters (fair size, but small - around comma sized)

Expected Results:  displayed black text on the white address bar as usual

The row of squares do not disappear if dragged off the screen and then back on
(ie the window is moved around), but will return to normal if the windows is
resized (maximized / minimized).

And I'm running at a resolution of 1152x864.
