When I move Firefox to the pivot screen (fullscreen), there are some representation errors.

When I put my mouse cursor over a link (hover) as long as the tooltip is displayed, the representation is corrected until I move the cursor back of the link. It seems to be, that this effect only happens the first time i have moved my cursor over a link on a site.

Also in web-forms the effect occurs, if you want to select a stored default value for a field. In this case, it is extremely disturbing since firefox constantly changes between incorrect and correct representation.

The black pixel line on bottom will always be shown, but is not needed.

Reporter -> Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest version of Firefox 4?

In the meantime I have reinstalled my operating system and upgraded to Firefox 5, but the problem still exists! Does no one use Firefox with a Pivot-Display?

I can't use the context menu because it flickers all the time.
The error is really annoying, please take care of it.

Have a look @ ...

Flicker: http://screencast.com/t/msdgfKsigom 
Border: http://screencast.com/t/gbC0YdGyc

Interesting was that the upper border has disappeared at the beginning of the screencast recording.

Also, I've noticed that I must often double and triple click on a link, until it opens, when I open multiple links at the same time. It seems as if there would be a delay. My mouse will work fine in all other programs.

The flicker bug also occurs on tab and button context menus.
