Okay, disregard that entire message. It *is* a Mozilla issue:

Thanks anyway.

> Hey all.
> 
> I've been using my GeForce 2 MX for awhile now, and I've been pretty
> happy with its performance. However, there's one (very annoying) issue
> that has been bugging me for quite some time.
> 
> I've not noticed this in any application other than Mozilla, however I'm
> not entirely convinced it's a Mozilla issue. When I highlight text on
> pages like Slashdot, random text seems to want to shift around 1px
> either to the left or right. Dropping down selection boxes cause the
> text underneath it to distort in the same manner, and the only way to
> temporarily fix the visual problems is to redraw the Mozilla window.
> (Flip to another desktop and back.) However, highlight some more text
> and the problem immediately starts over. 
> 
> The reason I say I don't think this is necessarily a Mozilla issue is
> because this wasn't happening until I installed my GeForce 2 using the
> NVidia drivers. (I'd previously been using a 3dfx Voodoo3.) It also
> seems to be an issue only with truetype fonts. 
> 
> I've also noticed a subtle and irritating horizontal flicker every so
> often on graphics-intensive stuff. Shift-reloading a picture-heavy
> website in Mozilla, or waiting for Return to Castle Wolfenstein to load
> seem to induce this sort of behavior.
> 
> Has anyone else had similar problems, and/or know how to fix them?
> Thanks.
