Strange monitor/graphics card when using Firefox
Hello folks and good day.
I'm using an ATI HD4830 512mb graphics card and an Acer S201HL 20" LCD monitor. My screen resolution is set at 1600 x 900. The graphics card driver is version 8.892.
Now for my problem. When using Firefox, currently ver. 9.01 I have strange "artifacts" that show up. Example: when I use my bookmarks, the last bookmark extends below the bottom of the Firefox window. Then when I collapse the bookmarks, the bottom entries stay visible on the taskbar. If I use the mouse to point to an item on the side of the Firefox window, the item will stay highlighted out side of the window, but not in the Firefox window itself.
It doesn't happen in other browsers nor when using an explorer window. I've tried using both a newer version of Firefox and also an older version to see if that corrects it. No luck so far. The problem doesn't seem to effect my pc's performance in any way, it's more of an annoyance. The monitor is less than 6 months old and the graphics card is less than a year old. The card isn't running hot, the fan is clean and the connections all seem to be snug.
The settings in the Catalyst Control are set to the defaults and the card isn't OC'd. Should I update to the newest drivers, or make some changes to my settings?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
