Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 300982

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[nathan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

Any multi line link that has a background color change on CSS :hover will cause the text that follows to render like badly aliased text. Every time you hover on the link, the non-link text gets worse and worse. See http://shared.snapgrid.com/fontexample.html with FF Mac to see it happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://shared.snapgrid.com/fontexample.html
2. Hover over the link several times
3. Note how the non linked text looks really bad
Actual Results:  
The text following the link renders poorly.

Expected Results:  
The text should have rendered normally.

Luckily, it's fixed on the trunk by the switch to Cairo for gfx.
