There is a hack in the code that is supposed to circumcent this, at:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/chrome/content/content.js#1415
This was added in a patch for bug 667062.

However, I'm still seeing this in current trunk build on the LG Optimus Black.

Is this bug supposed to be fixed or is it still supposed to be an issue?

Anyway, I'm reopening this bug for now, otherwise it's too confusing (for me at least).
