This bug summarizes a recent thread on the debian-user about a mozilla layout bug and gives a workaround for it, in hopes that the workaround can be made the default until the actual bug is fixed. I'm filing this (perhaps) overly-detailed bug report because it took me many months to figure out what caused this problem and gave me a bad impression of mozilla. Using either mozilla or galeon under an X server running at 100dpi (a setting that is often the default under debian woody, but not on many other linux distributions), the default setting for user_pref "browser.display.screen_resolution" causes the layout engine to have display corruption. Sample images are attached, and descriptions of the buggy behavior are in the thread linked below. Using the mozilla UI to add this setting: user_pref("browser.display.screen_resolution", 96); to prefs.js fixes the problem for both mozilla and galeon. This is the thread where the bug and its workaround are mentioned: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200205/msg04163.html This all happened under debian woody, with debian sid versions of galeon and mozilla: xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-16 Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 2 Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.1 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020421 Debian/1.2.1-2

I certainly haven't seen this in ages. I'm still running gecko in galeon (where I first saw this), I'm still using debian X servers at 100 dpi, and I have browser.display.screen_resolution set to 0 in my prefs.js. That combination used to cause it, so it's fixed for me.

(Might be Galeon specific although I don't see how.)
