[Konstantin Sobolev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0

We're developing a CRM with web-base interface and latest Firefox buils have
problems with redrawing some parts of our UI, I get a number of rectangular
areas filled with garbage that doesn't disapper when page is scrolled or window
is resized. Co-workers say that Windows version doesn't have this problem. I
remember that 1.0pr1 and prior Linux buils were also OK (althouh similary shaped
areas were updated with some delay when scrolling).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://server7.supportwizard.com:8080/gui2/login.jsp
2. login to Demo as admin/1
3. move mouse over tabs with arrows for drop-down menus to show and hide
4. switch to some other program and back with alt-tab

Actual Results:  
Some parts of the screen are not redrawn

Expected Results:  
Redraw all window contents without artifacts

I'm attaching a screenshot of how it looks like

I also see this on a page of our Content Management System.
The page is not publicly available, unfortunately.
The area which isn't redrawn has exactly the size of an IFRAME
which is inside a div which has visibility:hidden.
You might expect that the IFRAME is simply not visible.
But with Firefox 1.0 thereis a section which is not redrawn
and therefore has the contents of whatever was there before
on screen like my desktop or parts of another application.
I just made a downgrade to the PR-Version and it works there
so this bug is definitely new in 1.0 final.
BTW: I'm using SUSE Linux 9.2 and I downloaded the German
tar.gz file from www.mozilla.org
If you need any further information feel free to ask - I'll be glad
to help :-)

Now this also applies to Mozilla 1.7.5 (1.7.3 was OK)
