Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020511 Firefox/3.0b3

Going to the mentioned URL just caused a graphics "leak" that carried on to other tabs.  It could be described as a big blue block that is drawn on top of the window, on link hovers, and randomly on to old pages when switching tabs.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL
2. Just before the page finishes, a big blue block is painted at a set width over the window
3.
Actual Results:  
The big blue block is drawn.  

Expected Results:  
Correct rendering, and one that does not "leak" out into other tabs.

I wanted to make sure I captured the info and a screenshot first.  I'll see if I can reproduce it with a simpler tab layout on a fresh restart next.

Had a chance to try it a few times.  This is always reproducible.

It is also reproducible for me in this morning's minefield/3.0prebeta4 (20080218).

A little more information:

It looks like once the tab is closed, the tab-to-tab graphics glitch contamination also goes away.
