Firefox text dragging *awfully* slow

[Vincent Arnoux]

Hello,
I have a brand new kubuntu 8.10 install, on which I added Firefox 3. Since
this version of FF (I think) when you highlight text with the mouse and drag
it, you can see the text in a transparent fashion and reduced, so you know
exactly what you selected. When I do this on MS Windows or in Gnome, it
works fine. If I do it when logged in KDE 4.1, the drawing of this shadowed
text is *very* long and makes the display hang for a few minutes. The only
solution I have is to unselect the text and wait for the drag operation to
be finished. I have an Intel 945 GM graphic board with open source drivers.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem? And if not, how could I remove from
FF the ability to see the dragged text?

Thanks,
Vincent
