http://www.sueddeutsche.de causes sometimes terrible "optical bugs" that look
like memory leaks in graphic display. This site may be a good start to test the
browser. Sometimes Sueddeutsche even causes Mozilla to crash.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.For instance: load the page
2. scroll up and down.
3. Sometimes suedeutsche.de causes Mozilla/Phonix to crash

Actual Results:  
flickering screen, sometimes colurful "preview" picture that look like memory leaks.


Suedeutsche.de is a very important site in Germany, it is of one of the most
important daily newspapers. Perhaps it is the CMS that is buggy. Anyway, contact
the webmaster of sueddeutsche.de. [e-mail]
