in reply to Linux Browser for PM

I use Galeon 1.2.5, a Mozilla-based Gnome web browser with excellent tab support, on Debian unstable with no problems. I'm not sure what you mean by posts running over the nodelets, but I have not seen anything I would describe in that way. What Mozilla version are you using? Anyway, Galeon is really worth a good look, and it's the application I miss most when I'm forced to use Windows. I've not had much experience with other Linux browsers to comment more.

The only problem I have at PM is that sometimes when selecting text in the nested replies, the selected text gets really mangled in places (so that it ceases to become text, just a noisy rectangle), but a quick rescrolling up & down fixes it. I've not seen this happen on any other site than PM. Any other Mozilla/Galeon users know what I'm talking about?

    Agreed Galeon is a very nice browser. Although I like the developer support that Mozilla has (such as the DOM viewer and the view selection source)

    I also have this problem of random noise, again only on Perlmonks and only with replies. I also find that sometimes when I vote on nodes, the radio buttons turn into black blobs. Again if I scroll it *usually* disappears. If it makes any difference I'm using the Jblue theme

    Next time it happens I'll copy the page and try and find out whats wrong
