User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

If I choose Hide Mozilla/Firefox from the drop down window s i can work on
something, when I bring the page back up I often get a white page. passing the
mouse over the page or refreshing solves the problem but it seems like a bug to
me. This did not occur with proevious iterations of the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Choose hide from frop down menu.
2.Work on somethng else for 20 minutes or more. Bring browser app bad to the front
3.Page will be blank, the page that was active when i moved the app to the
background is all white/blank.

Actual Results:  
If I refresh or ove the mouse around, the page redraws itself. A minor but, I
guess if a bu at all.

Expected Results:  
The page I was was looking at previously should be dispalyed when i bring the
app back to the front.
