Christoph, Thank yo so much for this suggestion. I have been annoyed by this odd problem since I started using Firefox3 and this finally make things work correctly. I think this needs to be in a FAQ somewhere until/unless the Xorg driver is fixed. In any case, I was seeing this with an ATI Radeon X300 M22 graphics chipset. I don't seem to see it with my nVidia GeForce 7800 GT based system. I don't THINK I see it with my old MGA Matrox G450 , but I won't have my eyeballs in front of that system until next month, si I am not sure. Anyone seeing this with any other graphics device that does not use the RADEON driver? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
