The website http://www.cricinfo.com appears completely garbled and very difficult to read. Firefox [3.5.x] on 11.2 worked correctly.

Have seen this problem with many other sites too. Something to do with menus that pop-up on these websites.

Well here is the output when firefox is launched from the terminal and the above website is visited

---------------
(npviewer.bin:22464): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
---------------

The above line appears a large number of times on the terminal. Suggests a problem with the nspluginwrapper?

I am beginning to believe this is an X related problem as I do not see such garbling on my ATI chipset machine. It only happens on the machine with the Intel 945G chipset. If someone who knows about this let me know how I can make the bug report more useful, I would be happy to do do, but at the moment it looks to be a really very visible and irritating problem.

Please look into this bug. Same problem might affect other sites as well.

Thank you

Sometimes, the interface of firefox as well as nautilus and other aspects of the desktop also get corrupted after visiting this website. This screenshot shows corruption in the interface of firefox itself.

I had also filed a related bug 601769 earlier, which I could not reproduce and hence had to be closed. I cannot reproduce the crash any more, as I had reported there, but in my opinion this might be related. If you could take a look at this, I would be very grateful.

Problem is not seen with epiphany, for example.
