[Bug 366224] Re: Rendering artifact on text in firefox and gedit

[Nicklas W Bjurman]

** Summary changed:

- Rendering artifact in the tab bar of firefox
+ Rendering artifact on text in firefox and gedit

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: firefox
+ Binary package hint: firefox, gedit
  
- The line circled in red appears and disappears arbitrarily, it can
- sometimes be made to disappear by interacting with the tab bar. Seems
- always to appear on the active tab.
+ Horizontal lines appears arbitrarily during the rendering of text, they
+ can be made to disappear by temporary by rerendering of the text.
+ 
+ I have so far sighted these rendering artifacts in Firefox's tab-bar and
+ possibly on the search bar(screenshots provided below) as well as in the
+ general edited text of gedit(3rd screenshot). I suspect it may be a
+ bigger problem with X.org, Gnome or possible the graphics card drivers.
+ I am running on a 5 years old Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop with Radeon
+ Mobility 7500(details in dmesg.log provided in link below).
