Hi!

I’m having strange display problems with several web browsers. Certain
layout parts (as borders or backgrounds) aren’t at the appropriate
place; and they’re moving if I hover them. I encountered this problem
with the following browsers:

- iceweasel from lenny-backports
- firefox downloaded directly from Mozilla
- epiphany from lenny-backports

This behaviour already occured before installing firefox; and it’s not
caused by any plug-ins or add-ons as epiphany (which I didn’t customize)
behaves the same (wrong) way.

To illustrate the problem, I made a screenshot of e. g. German Bash
Blog: web page [1], screenshot [2]. On other pages, there are similar
errors.

It would be great if anyone could tell me how to fix this or where to
ask for further help.

Best regards,
Robin

(...)

The sample page renders fine here, with iceweasel from lenny-backports
and a fresh downloaded Firefox from Mozilla.

Try by starting the browser with a new (empty) profile.

I already tried; it didn’t work either.

I’m just trying to upgrade from lenny to squeeze as someone told me
backports may (!) cause a problem. I hope it will work then ...

Regards,
Robin

Ouch! :-(

What I find strange is you are getting the same problem with the direct
downloaded Mozilla version as this should use its own packages and
rendering framework :-?

Well, I would not say "problems"... some "glitches" maybe, but nothing
serious if you put some care on it.

Anyway, updating the whole OS to testing just for the browser is having a
problem to display some CSS stuff is a bit... adventurous? :-)

Furthermore, it did not help. :-/
