See the URL for an example. In this example, I entered the text: "note the junk left by the cursor" and moved the cursor back a few words using the arrow keys.

Sorry, I thought the required information was deduced automatically from the HTTP requests: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204 Build ID: 2002020415
Hmmmm, I don't see this at all in my Mozilla 03/06/02 Linux DEBUG build. Reporter, have you tried a recent nightly build? --> mjudge (caret/selection)

Just tried Build 2002030708 -- still broken. However, I also noticed that it's only broken on my Slackware 8.0 box. I also have machines running RedHat 7.1 and 7.2, and it works on both of those. (I didn't notice this before, because I usually run Mozilla on the Slackware box, and it's been broken for so long that I had almost gotten used to it.) I'll do some extensive testing and post an update on this later.
Looks like the bug is caused by the NVIDIA driver included with XFree86 4.1.0. When I use the fbdev driver instead of the nv driver (in XF86Config), the drawing errors are gone.
So can we close this as INVALID?
I have not looked at the code in question, so I don't think I'm qualified to make that decision. But there's one thing I'd like to ask before you make it INVALID: Is it possible that this could be caused by assumptions in your code that fail on certain display drivers? (I'm asking because the driver only causes problems in Mozilla.)
I think we can close this bug as INVALID. I just installed the latest drivers from nvidia.com (NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2802 and NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2802), and now it works again. Must be some obscure bug in the version included with XFree86 4.1.0.
