Mozilla-Firefox jumpy links ;)

I'm using mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 and everytime I hover mouse over a link (<a href=...>) it moves one pixel to the left. Not all links do it - for example, emoticons (those faces on the left, shown when you write a message) does. This problem persisted with a few versions of firefox.
It's not like that I jump out of the window if it doesn't get repaired tomorrow, I'm just curious if you have this problem aswell.

i've had the same behaviour with firefox-0.9x and below... it also happened when i selected some text with the mouse... but now it's finally gone =) (firefox-1.0) i've never found a workaround for the problem...

Firefox 1.0 does the same for me but only in kde, in gnome it works fine. I found by passing "-dpi 96" to the x server fixed the problem in kde.

Same problem here using Firefox 1.0 + Gnome 2.8.
Under xfce it works fine.

Any solutions?

Setting the font resolution to 96 dpi (=x server setting) in gnome-font-properties solves this problem.

Thanks, it seems that it solves the problem.
