Attachment: This Screenshot shows how the error displays on my machine

I am developing a fairly large manual page, which prints out to 150 pages. This page has most of its content contained in a div with a "-moz-linear-gradient" applied. When removing most of the content, this works nicely, but for large pages, lots of rendering errors appear.

Attached is
- an HTML file to reproduce the issue (scroll down a bit)
- a screenshot showing the problem

Are you GPU drivers up-to-date?

Comment 5

[Lukas Eder]

I've had this issue on various computers. Right now, I'm using a pretty brand new Windows 8 machine. How can I figure out whether GPU drivers are up-to-date?

Note that I've had several users of my website (http://www.jooq.org) report this issue to me before, independently. I suspect that this is really a Firefox issue. It doesn't happen with other browsers (which use other CSS rules for the same, of course). For now, I've worked around this issue by removing the gradient style for the problematic part.
