I can't reproduce this ( Linux, CVS build from yesterday ). After the last
reflow, the menu is OK and the page is readable

As an attempt of better understanding I saved the url page on a local drive.
The copy has twice the left column.Maybe the paint mishaps belong to this other
strange effect.

How was the "repaint" triggered?

maximize window button or double click on the top bar to change the window size.

While digging for dupes I found bug 87462 and bug 88701 that could be related.

Another site where to get the paint mishaps after reflow
http://www.e-insite.net/ednmag/
when page is loaded click on multimedia
the bottom left corner of the window is wrong

OK. Changing window size triggers a reflow, not a repaint.  So this really is a 
layout bug, not a painting bug...

As repaint scrolling the crippled area of page out of sight the back works too
