From Bugzilla Helper:

When dragging the sidebar from left to right under Linux, it leaves a trail of
"ghost" sidebars behind it. When dragging it from right to left, it will leave a
trail of "ghost" scrollbars on the right hand side of the browser window if the
scrollbar is present. These "ghost" side and scrollbars dissappear once the drag
operation is complete and seem to be the product of a poor refresh rate.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the sidebar
2. Go to a page with enough text that the right-hand scroll bar appears.
3. Drag the sidebar from left to right.

Actual Results:  The sidebar and scrollbar left trails as the browser window was
resized.

Expected Results:  No trails during drag operation.

I'm running under a reasonably powerful machine 650Mhz AMD w/ 128 MB of RAM.
From my observations, this problem is persistent on all Linux builds that I've
tried(on multiple machines). This problem is not present under the Windows
builds when tried on the same machine.
Sounds like an issue withour implementation on GTK.  I can see the main content
scrollbar and sidebar grippy not being leaving this residual "trail" too (not
invalidating till user stops dragging?).  Maybe Pav can help direct this bug in
the right direction?

Yes, I can still reproduce this problem. I just tried it with:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040202
