Firefox waving when moving the page up and down

[Ashley Benton]

It's possible that the machine had been low on ram or CPU but I don't see
the reason (installation and updates were done and only firefox was open
when it begun) and why that doesn't do it with Ubuntu 7.10 since I tried
just after. Maybe it is my video card driver that was tired yesterday.
Usually when the CPU is low the mouse moves very slowly and the computer is
unresponsive. At least that what that does on my son's computer when he
tried to play with video games that have too much graphic compare to the
ability of the computer. Most of the time I have to kill the application or
reboot. I didn't have any trouble with my mouse or anything else (could
open, close documents and windows) yesterday ,just the waving trouble, so
that would send me to the video card first.
Anyway, Thank you for your answer, I'll know what to look if it happens
again.
