Java elements get munged in FF, not IE

Hi there - I frequently use a "Scrabble" site where the tile rack is provided in the form of an embedded Java applet, allowing you to slide your letters back and forth to change the order they appear on the screen.

The problem comes if you scroll the page - the Java bits are replaced by some of the text and / or frame lines that appeared in that position during the scrolling. You can force the letter tiles to be redrawn by sliding them as intended, but this refreshes only the tiles, not their frame lines. Overall quite an ugly result.

I wish I could provide screen clips to illustrate this behaviour because the above explanation is at best awkward, and the URL below requires a logon and other procedures (join a game) before you can see anything of value. Isn't there any way to attach JPGs to these posts?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Thanks! Worked.

I should have mentioned that Video drivers was the first thing I suspected, and updated to latest available. It made no discernible difference. Anyway I can live with this workaround, since running FF with HW acceleration off doesn't make any discernible difference to performance. Many thanks.
