I'm seeing the same behavior. I searched around on the web a while
ago and saw
a report (on a firefox bug issue or mailinglist I think) from
another FreeBSD
user about this. He later followed up to his own post saying that
the problem
went away after he recompiled ALL of his ports. The thing that was
interesting is that he only saw the bad behavior under xfce (what WM are you
using, btw?). I'm running xfce 4.4.0 and have the problem, but I haven't
gotten around to recompiling everything yet. I may or may not wait for the
modularXorg stuff to be committed before I do so...
I'm experiencing a similar problem with the GTK file save box. Under
fluxbox, the save box starts to grow and shrink horizontally by approx
40% of its size twice per second or so. The only way out of this is to
kill and restart Firefox. I don't know if other GTK-based programs are
affected though. Another data point: I'm too in the midst of the giant
gettext upgrade tango, so this could be temporary, until everything is
finally upgraded.
I just want to report that I'm no longer having a problem after a
complete system refresh. I upgraded to -CURRENT (mostly for better
gjournal support, not because of anything in this thread), uninstalled
all my ports, deleted the /var/db/ports directory, removed /usr/X11R6
entirely, set $X11BASE to /usr/local in /etc/make.conf, removed
everything but a few config files in /usr/local, and installed
everything again.
Between the firefox issue I was seeing, the gettext upgrade, and
upgrading to -CURRENT I definitely needed to reinstall everything
anyway. I decided to go ahead and make the X11BASE change so my life
will be easier when the default gets changed. (I'm already running the
experimental modularXorg ports tree.)
