Created attachment 32442 [details] The WebKit homepage showing the extreme effects of the bug If I leave WebKit open for a long time (overnight for example) when I return to work in the morning any pages I open and scroll have strange rendering artifacts. The colours seem to bleed and the text becomes unreadable. The problem is barely visible upon normal scrolling as it only severely affects content that stays on the page when scrolling. I've marked this as trivial because closing WebKit and re-opening it fixes the problem, but since it's been happening for a while I thought I'd let you know. I have attached screen-shots of the extremes (scrolling up and down repeatedly...). If you need any more information I'm happy to help.

I've had this issue too, after leaving webkit open all night (couldn't quit half way through vector TD), but logged out (locked).
