854047 - Text often "smears"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 812695

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Jonathan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130307023931

Steps to reproduce:

I believe this happened after a firefox update, maybe a month or so ago.


Actual results:

Text often appeared "smeared".  I could send pictures.  When this occurs, scrolling doesn't help, but highlighting the text will fix it.  It isn't consistent, text may appear fine for a while, and then a page will get smeary.  I would like to note that over the past month, I have changed computers and monitors, and have also done 2 clean windows installs, always installing the most recent firefox version, so I'm confident this isn't a computer or monitor issue.


Expected results:

The text should have appeared as it should.
