[chacal]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686; en-US; m17)
Gecko/20000705
BuildID:    

on www.ebay.com, if i hold down a key to enter multiple letters to the search
textbox, the contents of the textbox flicker outside the bounds of the box after
the letters fill the viewable area of the textbox

Also, Although I don't know if it's
related, on this form i'm filling out, if I click a dropdown box, and select
something, when it closes, the frame around the dropdown box lingers until i
scroll until the dropdown is no longer visible, and then return.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit
www.ebay.com	
2.focus on the search textbox
3.hold down a key

Actual Results:  text flickered outside the textbox

This has been reported multiple times, but I can't find the bugs.  sending to 
form controls, rods will know better than me what to look for.

I don't see this on  NT.  maybe related to bug 31566?

I've seen this with INPUT[type=text] on NT on my own pages. Usually the 
described effect occurs when a) text has been entered in the field and b) the 
field has some CSS styles applied to it (try playing with height, width, 
font, line-height and font-size).

Marking WORKSFORME: I'm pretty sure this was fixed in teh last few weeks, and it 
is fine for me on NT and Linux suing M18 Trunk builds.
