Details
Mozilla seems to sporadically (though quite often) stop updating it's windows
properly.
Symptoms are:
when text is selected, no 'inverting' happens.
when menuse are pulled down, the little 'tab' at the top doesn't draw
when form buttons/menus/etc are clicked, they don't change to show their new values.
the statusbar quits updating for link moseovers, etc.
Things that help fix it (temporarily):
scrolling (only helps the main pane, not urlbar etc)
xrefresh
windowshade/unwindowshade
all of which would be requesting redraws. so it seems like mozilla knows what to
draw, it just doesn't know when it needs to draw it.
ChrisM in #smoketest says he could see this on MacOS 9 too, I see it on Debian
Linux/PowerPC (potato)

Hmm... after deleting my profile it went away (for a while) but 15 mins later
it's back.
Just before it started doing this I got a bunch of assertions of the form
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkgc.c: line 288 (gdk_gc_unref): assertion `gc != NULL'
failed
So it looks like maybe mozilla accidently lost it's gc? I don't see these now
(and it's not working) but they got spewed all over just before it broke. Could
be that ChrisM was seeing something else entirely...

it looks like maybe I'm wrong about forms and select being the same bug - the
forms part of this appears to be a dup of 25258.
I haven't seen the selections freak out in a couple of days, so it looks like
that got fixed w/o me finding the other bug number. I (as the reporter) am going
to mark the remaining issue on this bug as a dup of 25258.

Rubber-stamping as verified/duplicate, since I haven't seen this issue
personally (other than text selection, which is covered by existing bugs.)
