This could be due to us painting directly to the rendering context, I guess....

I honestly don't recall ever seeing this bug.  The flashing outline goes away
for me every time.

I use Mozilla on Linux and Win98SE.

Attachment: screenshot

i couldnt reproduce with this b.m.o. bugpage (tried not too hard though), but
with the sneeuwblind.nl url it was no problem at all. the red lines didnt even
blink this time, they just appeared (and only disappeared when another window
was placed over the DOMinspector).
