Posted question about this at mozillazine.org, but as there is little activity I cross-post it here. Please delete if that is bad.

Issue is with textarea and spell-check. Text vanishes or get scrambled.

Instead of a complete re-write I post a link to the question here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2670323

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as it is a bit frustrating.

Does disabling or changing the underline have any effect?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

@cor-el: Yes! That fixed it. It is only the default style; Wavy Line, that has this effect. I suspected as much but wasn't aware there was a configuration option for it. about:config did not have it, - searched for it earlier.

And yes I have tested with Safe mode, fresh profile, disabling all plug-ins and extensions, enabling one by one, and various other combinations including with disabling hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling, no themes etc. in combination with all of the above - as in safe mode, fresh profile, disabling / enabling various plug ins and extensions.

Thanks! You're a lifesaver :)

PS: I consider this solved though I also categorize it as a bug. I had a look at the source code earlier but it is rather huge :) , - and I wasn't able to pinpoint where this gets done - (the underlining.). If any hints on where to look please tell.

Just want to add that I was seeing this problem too for a long time, and changing the underline style solved it for now. I also have this in Thunderbird btw.

To find some commons: I'm seeing this on two machines, both were Debian/Squeeze, now both Debian/Wheezy and newer. One is Intel, one is AMD CPU. One is a Radeon r770, the other is ATI Mobility FireGL V5200. Both run the AMD radeon open source graphics driver with full OpenGL support. Both run the Compiz compositing window manager, but IIRC one was running without compositing for some time, didn't change a thing.
