[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: minor

This could be a webkit bug -- see the attached screencast.
When I scroll down, and up again on gmane's threaded web
interface, I get rendering errors -- it looks as though
the thin line between the frames is drawn inside and
scrolled with the frame rather than being around it.

I get the problem too, but it isn't shown in your screenshot (apparently doing
an screenshot forces a display redraw, and the rendering problem goes away).

To reproduce: just click on a mail on http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel
that is long enough to make a scrollbar appear on the message body, and scroll
down and up there.

Hmm? I can definitely see it in my screencast :)

It's a screencast =). It's an animated gif.

I have seen numerous rendering bugs recently, but my colleagues in
webkitgtk do not share them, so I am tending to charge these bugs on
cairo or Xorg. If anyone has time to try different (older) cairo
versions, that would rock.

Thanks,

Yeah good point. This actually reminds me of another old X bug my
brother had found, I'll ask him.

FWIW, I'm on libcairo 1.8.10-3 since newer ones (used to?) crash
evolution.

I'm not on ppc though, and his test tool doesn't show bugs here.
