Mozilla Firefox in Linux
http://myosc.org/jiyuu0/firefox_linux.jpg

In Firefox Linux, the bottom part seems to be white. It is suppose to be brownish (see the correct colour of the page in Firefox Windows)

Temporary solution: Firefox Linux will show the correct colour if I press the arrow key up and then down

I thought this is a coding problem of the page, but after some testing, I've found out that Firefox Linux seems to have limitation in page length or something. If I shorten the page... then the colour would appear ok.

This problem only occur in Firefox Linux but not Firefox Windows.

Is this bug?

If you scroll up from the area in question using the arrow keys (as the post said), the area is redrawn in the correct color. I think it's a rendering engine bug. The page passes W3C's markup checks, so it's probably not a case of bad page design. Besides, the poster notices different behavior in Linux and Windows.
