We have a bug on this somewhere. Basically, we do not start drawing the new page soon enough (we can't really since the paint messages aren't getting to us fast enough).

So we keep the old page in the image buffers and stuff happens to it. The old bug was about scrolling to the top of the page. This bug is about zooming. It's the same bug.

We could simply show a white background or the checkerboard.

Can we get some headway on this? It's been close to a month and I'm still seeing this especially on the Omnia 2 when clicking on a nightly build link on the nightly builds page.
