After browsing through a couple of pages full of a lot of thumbnails, Mozilla
GUI rendering gets gradually but completely broken. This might be in connection
with DirectX9 (also appears with DirectX 9a) and newer NVidia Detonator drivers.
I have first experienced this issue with Win2k + DX9 + Detonator 40.xx +
Mozilla 1.3a if I remember correctly. Now i got DX9a + Detonator 41.xx + 1.4rc3
and it's gotten worse with 1.4 in that the problem appears much sooner than
with 1.3.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
go to the URL above, and browse through a couple of pages with lots of
thumbnails. then the right-click menu won't appear correctly, or rather,
it doesn't gets refreshed correctly. later the Mozilla main window
title gets overwritten with each topic instead of being fully repainted,
and  similar artifacts will completely render Mozilla unusable.

Actual Results:  
Even as I am typing this bug report, the textarea doesn't get refreshed, and
the whole window is full of artifacts, no refresh when scrolling, etc.
(I browsed the thumbnails in an other window of the same Mozilla instance)

Expected Results:  
Obviously, it should work... I did not experience any problem like that ever,
with any other application, including MSIE.
