Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 206150

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux)

Sometimes the fonts seems a bit broken.  It looks like if a vertical or horizontal line 
was missing. 
 
I've seen this browsing Slashdot.  When this happens I select the text and get it 
back to normal.  I didn't reported it because it was not easily reproductible. 
 
On the example URL, the problem is 100% reproductible.  You just have to have the 
pack of smileys on the screen and the text up and around will "dance" (the missing 
lines are switching on and off many times by second). 
If you select the text it will not help at all.  You will see the font "dance" too. 
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load the page http://www.materiel.be/viewnews.php?n=2082 
2.Scroll down to have "Retourner aux news du jour" below the smileys just at the 
bottom of the mozilla window. (It shows it best.  It's not so bugged when the page is 
all the way down) 
3. Just look at the text, select it, scroll a bit.  Any combinaison of this should show a 
"dancing" font. 
Actual Results:  
Buggy text effect.  

Expected Results:  
Straight static fixed text. 

It's just eyecandy.  No crash/memory trash seems involved.
