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.
