Package: epiphany-gecko
Version: 2.22.3-8+b1
Severity: important


Hi,

It has been a while and this strange rendering does not go away. Is it
only me, or rendering of repeated images (i.e. for 
backgrounds, etc, as seen in the attached image) is broken in gecko? The
same behaviour is seen on Iceweasel. It is not that the html of the page
is bad, as this happens on xkcd and slashdot, and both are w3c
'validable'.

The machine is a laptop(dell Inspiron 1525), and i have never palyed
with screen configuration, it is as it was automagically configured
(60hz) and working fine elsewere - alas, i have seen some disrupting in
OOffice Writer text when scrolling, which could be somewhat similar to
the behaviour mentioned(?), although when i scroll the text offscreen in
writer the disrupting goes away, where in gecko it will just continue to
disrupt the background images even more. They also change position when
you select a text that hovers over them. If a "tip box" hovers over such
an image, it leaves a mark, same thing if another window is moved over
the said image.

In the debian portuguese help list i've received response from another
dell inspiron having this same problem.

I filed as 'important' as this really disrupts reading of several pages
with backgound images under text, and visualization of some gets really
confusing.
