197751 - Address (URL) bar repaint leaves dotted line

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 80292

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Scott Duffy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I just downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.3 this afternoon on my Windows 98
laptop. I was browsing a web site soon thereafter (which happened to be
http://maccentral.macworld.com/, but I don't think it matters). I clicked the
mouse in the URL bar, and saw a strange dotted line appear. I took a snapshot of
it for prosterity.

As you can see, the cursor is currently in the URL bar, and blinking as normal.
But the URL bar looks odd.

Haven't been able to reproduce it since.

P.S. This is my first bug report. My apologies if I didn't file it properly, or
under the proper category. Please don't flame me.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load mozilla.
2. Switch to another open window, such as Windows Explorer.
3. Switch back to mozilla.
4. Click the mouse inside the URL bar.
Actual Results:  
Dotted line appeared

Expected Results:  
No dotted line

What kind of graphics card do you have there?

Windows Display Properties reports "RAGE LT PRO AGP 2X (English)". This happened
on my Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop, with 15" LCD (Dell 1500FP) running in 1024x768
mode.

Adapter/Driver Info:
Manufacturer: ATI Tech - Enhanced
Chip Type: Mach64LT
DAC Type: Internal
Features: DirectDraw 1.00
Software Version: 4.11.2560

This still happens. Not reproducible "on demand", but it happens all the time.

Does this happen anymore?  If so, have you tried upgrading your video drivers
and trying in a new profile?

Weird.  This happens to me all the time now on Knoppix 3.3 (CD version, so I
can't upgrade my Mozilla.)  I automatically get a new profile each time I boot,
so it's not a profile issue.

ATI Rage 4MB Pro, but I kinda doubt it's a graphics driver issue.
