Weird Text Shadows on Google Reader in Firefox 3.1/3.5 Betas

Does any­body else get these? When you navi­gate to your labels or subsc­rip­tions using key­board short­cuts, the high­ligh­ted item in this modal win­dow thing has a text “sha­dow” or dupli­cate sit­ting ten pixels over to the left. It’s been bothe­ring me for a while now and I can’t find any­body else tal­king about it. I guess I’m sup­po­sed to file a bug?

Yes, I’m having the same pro­blem and was won­de­ring whether my recent tin­ke­ring with .fonts.conf cau­sed it.

BTW, love the design of your blog, aesthe­ti­cally done.

Thanks gree­fea.

I’m get­ting this pro­blem in Win­dows too, howe­ver, so I don’t think it’s a Linux thing. I don’t know if Goo­gle Rea­der does any text-shadow CSS stuff, but if they do, it might be that the Fire­fox betas are ren­de­ring it inco­rrectly. I’d be sur­pri­sed if they haven’t caught it by this point though.
