After taking the photo of the screen, I was able to get correct rendering by simply raising another window partially above the Firefox window. As I'm running compiz, Firefox should have no reason to redraw itself in that case but something fixed the rendering (I'd guess that because the window lost focus, Firefox un-howered the drawer on the page and this triggered redraw).
Should I open a new bug for the Firefox text rendering issue (random body text color on that web page)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018706 Title: Intel X4500 display driver crashes X when loading an URL in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1018706/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
