With firefox 17 and higher, memchaser causes excessive repainting in the content area when zoomed #166

I have a bug about this on Bugzilla atm, but maybe its something that can be fixed in the addon or traced back to the sdk.

Basically when you zoom in while memchaster is on the addon bar the content area is repainted every time you scroll causing noticed jittery or sluggish scrolling.

Some users may not be sensitive enough to it to notice, but enabling nglayout.debug.paint_flashing will demonstrate the issue readily enough.

thanks for the report! @ochameau, have you ever heard that?

@Squall-Leonhart would you mind to give us the bug you mentioned in your original comment? Also some testing with beta candidate builds for Firefox 17 would be good, so we would know in which beta version it has been started. Thanks.

Lucky for me i already addressed all that in the original bugzilla bug.

Thank you Daniel. I don't see any reason why this should be memchaser issue itself. It's more a platform issue. So lets please continue on the bug. I will have a bit of time the next days to check your steps.
