Same here at <http://forums.macnn.com/>. Visit the site, scroll down, click on a
link to one of the forums, then press the back button on the browser. Blank grey
rectangles galore. Until now, I'd always believed this was some form of
irritating banner ad that followed you around, but perhaps it isn't.

Looks like it's mac-only...

Attachment: misplaced ad

I think it's the same issue as bug 137982. I'm also seeing both all the time,
on Mac OS X (CFM build). Usually blank dark grey, but sometimes just misplaced
(as in this screenshot).

Attachment: misplaced box

Wow, another one on this very page. Just clicked on attachment 93010 [details] to check
it, and then the back button. Note also the ugly little grey square in the
bottom right corner -- I always get it (under 1.1b) when there are two scroll
bars. Who ordered that?
