Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110121 Firefox/4.0b10pre ID:20110121030329

this is still a problem

I changed the title since this seems to be a problem with accelerated layers and not D2D. I tried with D2D only(set layers.acceleration.disabled;true) and it does not occur any longer.

This same thing is seen on www.jango.com if you search an artist then click "pics" and then click on a picture.

Seems to be D3D10-only for me.
