Public bug reported:
When displaying a web page some single characters are garbage. This is
most noticable when displaying pages like Facebook when there are a
number of page application causing the page text to be re-written. If
you have a lot of this re-write activity you can see random characters
disappear ( interesting the "a" was garbage after typing) and reappear.
Will add a screen shot of Facebook that has two examples. The first
being where the "m" is missing from the Talking Points Memo header. The
second is in the ad for Discover Card, the "c" in bank is garbage.
