After some recent updates (which included a new ati driver) firefox
exhibits this weird behavior on my system. When I start firefox, the
first time it gets the focus, it flickers once like it just decided
it needed to redraw the whole screen. (I have focus set to follow
the mouse).
After it does it that once, it is OK, I can move focus back and
forth and no flickering happens till I exit firefox and restart it,
then I get the initial flicker again.
i've seen some trivial but fairly new oddities as well. as i
mentioned before, the scroll bar doesn't seem to act consistently.
once upon a time, if i clicked way down the scrollbar to page down,
firefox would, well, page down. once. now, fairly regularly, it will
blow through a massive amount of scrolling down. immediately
thereafter, though, it will go back to what i recall as normal
behaviour.
