Mozilla M10, Linux 2.2, Redhat 6.1 (glibc 2.1). Problem: Scrolling to the end of a very long page corrupts the main display. After scrolling n lines down the page, the display begins to overwrite itself in place, instead of scrolling properly. Scrolling back up past the nth line fixes the display. How to reproduce: Go to any sufficiently long HTML page and scroll to the end. The URL given triggers the problem, but the presence of style sheets or complex HTML layout are not required. You can also trigger the problem by loading this HTML: <HTML><BODY> Hi there all you happy people!<BR> <!-- 2216 times --> </BODY></HTML> In this example, 2216 lines appears to be magic. If the page has fewer lines, the problem does not appear. The problem appears when using the scroll keys, page up/page down keys, the scrollbar, or dragging.
