** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  When selecting text in Firefox, occasionally (1 in 100 times maybe) a
  portion of a text will appear as a black box instead of highlighted
  black text on orange background. The effect is like CIA black pen
  redaction of sensitive documents. If the text is deselected by clicking
  and reselected, it will work okay again. It doesn't seem to happen with
- any specific sites.
+ any specific sites, but I've seen it on both slashdot and reddit.
  
  I have firefox 3.0.9. I have recently upgraded automatically to Ubuntu
  9.04 and switched to the free ATI drivers. This never happened before I
  upgraded. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo R20 laptop with 2 gb memory.
  
- I have tried to replicate for a screenshot but it never seems to happen
- when I actually want it to!
+ *Edit - hitting printscreen clears the black bars, so I can't give a
+ screenshot!
