(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150305191659

Steps to reproduce:

I open two links in new tabs. Then switch between those two simultaneously before the tabs finish loading the page.

Unfortunately this cannot be reproduced always. Its random and can happen any time.


Actual results:

The spinning wheel is surrounded by a white box giving an impression that its not being able to redraw or there is problem with the refresh rate of the screen. This can be seen when some elements appear like ghosts on the tab not meant for it. I am not technical person so maybe I am not being able to explain better.


Expected results:

Normal function of the tabs. That is to say, the graphics should draw correctly (the spinning wheel or the page).

This problem had been continuing since Firefox 36 Beta. Earlier version had no such problem. I had recently updated my graphics driver (Intel Sandybridge) by the way.
