Dear Maintainer, I downloaded Mozilla 1.5 from ports with all patches as of today, and after compiling with some options (make WITHOUT_XFT=yes WITHOUT_COMPOSER=yes WITHOUT_LDAP=yes WITHOUT_CHATZILLA=yes) or without any options, the same problem persists: Status line is like "blinking": the top of the status line moves up and down about 1-2 pixels, and this may also make the rendered HTML document to move along. It seems that a line is drawn above the status line, then the line disappears, and this repeats 5-7 times per second. This effect is very disturbing and makes documents very difficult to read. I haven't found any info on this bug either on bugzilla nor on the web, but may be I am not the one who has got such problem, and there were other FreeBSD users that experienced and reported the same problem. Mozilla 1.3 that was installed before didn't have that issue. Disabling plug-ins didn't help. Also I noticed that Mozilla tends to eat up about 33% of CPU power, what was never noted before. This is Mozilla 1.5 from ports, it was installed after I deinstalled Mozilla 1.3, also from ports. All applications that Mozilla depends on are also from ports. The system is FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE running on Celeron 900 MHz with 512 Mb of RAM. The video card is NVidia with original "nv" driver in XFree86 4.3.0, also from ports. I just think this bug must be very rare that I haven't found any info on it anywhere. I think it must be specfic to FreeBSD. May be someone else also reported it. May be not. If not, I will simply revert to Mozilla 1.3 that worked perfectly. Thanks a lot in advance for your precious time! -- Yours truly, Konstantin.
