Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[topdownjimmy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.172.33 Safari/530.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5

When navigating through tags or subscriptions in Google Reader (using the keyboard shortcuts "g t" and "g u", respectively), the highlighted item in the translucent div that appears has oddly misaligned text shadows.

This has been happening to me regularly since the 3.1 alphas.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Google Reader
2. Press "g t" to open the tag navigation
3. Press the down/up arrows to navigate among tags
Actual Results:  
Text shadows make text difficult to read.

Expected Results:  
No text shadows, or at least properly rendered text shadows.

Happens in Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit as well.

Why was this marked as a duplicate?  It seems to have nothing to do with 447634.  Was this an accident as a result of marking adjacent bug 501675?

I had two bugs open at once, comment 2 can safely be ignored.
