Never saw this on Linux. Does it happen with a fresh profile too?

Have you added this to your current prefs.js:
user_pref("nglayout.widget.gfxscrollbars", true);

If so: dup of bug 141495
I saw an older bug on it too - will search.

Patrick: what part of comment 1 fixed it?
A fresh profile?

Creating a fresh profile _or_ deleting the nglayout.widget.gfxscrollbars line
fixed it.
