I have also tested this on 	
Mozilla 1.4
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529 and the bug is
still reproducible.  On the textarea field, you will need to scroll over to
notice that all of the array is not being displayed.

I see this also LInux 2003053008 and a hours old CVS build witth GTK2/XFT

My CVS build shows this problem by just scrolling over one screen while my
mozilla.org build takes many screens to show this problem.

Another way of reproducing the bug is to just copy/paste the following text 14
times in any of the bugzilla text fields. Then press the "Home" key to get back
to the beginning, like if you wanted to change the first character:

ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF ABCDEF 

The funny thing here (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4)
Gecko/20030624) is that as soon as I move the mouse over the text field, it gets
displayed properly. As soon as I insert/delete any char, it gets screwed up again.

Dup of a known bug in rendering very long lines of text....

Would that be bug 38946 ?

[Scott Gifford]

This looks like a dup of bug 35229.
