check out the attached file. i think the good rendering is what IE does: it
paints the whole <div> red. Mozilla only paints the part that is initially
visible on the screen, when i scroll right, only unpainted parts appear.

I too see this problem with firefox 0.8.0+ on Linux.

This problem is very annoying!

The problem mentioned by the reporter only happens when the DIV area is too
LARGE. This problem does not occur when the DIV area is too HIGH.

So it is not as annoying as I first thought! :-)

What IE does is incorrect.  Put a border on the div to see the difference.  In
Mozilla, the text overflows the div (correctly), while IE makes the div too wide.
