Since the board upgrade, there is a very annoying placement shift and rapid, repeating flicker when my cursor strays over the username and then just to the left of it. It is bad enough to possibly cause an epileptic seizure and should really be fixed. Using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Ubuntu if that makes a difference.

Does the same thing in Windows with Seamonkey, but it has more to do with mouse pointer placement. When you see the name in a blue box, click on it to get options.

The blue box displacement is almost as annoying as the flicker (well not quite). Really poor coding that causes things like that to happen. Poor babies . . . this really is the gang that can't shoot (or code) straight.

I've got FireFox 2.0.0.11 and XP SP2

if I mouse toward the name from the left side of the screen then it happens
if I mouse from any other direction it doesn't happen
unless it's a really small name like " ml " in a post above
then it doesn't matter which way I try to go at it it just jumps like crazy

really scary when it first happened though

Cheers
