Duplicate of bug 112673? I think so -- but want also to note that I see this bug on Windows 98 -- so it's not just a Linux problem ....
Could you try a new nightly and try to find an easy way to reproduce this? Thank's for testing mozilla.
Severity: blocker → normal
It is hard to reproduce, at least on Win98. It happens irregularly, at the worst of times.
Ok. I can reproduce it (more or less) at: http://news.com.com/2100-1001-870805.html on Win98, MOzilla 2002031104 and later builds, with font size set at 100%, 16MB 3dfx Voodoo 3000D graphics card. Mozilla Font settings: Proportional: Sans-serif 16pt sans-serif: Arial To reproduce: 1) load page 2) scroll down page. 3) select and deselect blocks of text should see the text subtly shift to the left/right, and become both more and less 'jaggy'

Something I noticed today was that on www.osnews.com the borders around the article titles become jaggy when the text contained inside them does. I noticed this on other websites aswell. I don't know if this is the same problem or not.
