Bug Description

Hi, I have this weird rendering issues on firefox (2.x and 3.x as well) on some pages after scrolling, for example this one:
http://www.640pixels.com/articles/50-amazing-pictures-you-must-see-on-flickr.aspx

See attached screenshot for more details. It works fine on konqueror.

Hmm...now I see that I have the same issue on Feisty, but on the other hand it looks fine on WinXP.

I can confirm the problem. The problem appears to be the rendering of background pictures. Looks like some function calculates the pointer to the image buffer wrongly, since it displays random other bitmaps from the same X display.
