>Description:
Not sure if this is a macppc or mozilla issue, but I tend to think mozilla.

Both packages build just fine, however, there are a lot of graphical artifacts, especially when filling in forms and scrolling.  This is the only application I've seen do this on my system.

It's not an XFree86 issue, as I see the same problem when running the Xmacppc X server (which uses a dumb ofb driver).

>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_add ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/macppc/All/firefox-1.0nb1.tgz
rehash
firefox &
open www.netbsd.org
scroll down
