Hi,
since yesterday, after full system upgrade, I have problem with tabs headers in firefox/thunderbird. Here are example how it look in my firefox. This problem exist if firefox started with fresh profile, without any extension installed. System is arch amd x86_64 with latest kernel, nvidia card and nouveau driver

Downgrading from packages
ati-dri-8.0.3-1

libgl-8.0.3-1
libglapi-8.0.3-1
libgles-8.0.3-1
nouveau-dri-8.0.3-1
xorg-server-1.12.1.901-3
xorg-server-common-1.12.1.901-3
to previous versions don't change anything. After today's upgrade xorg-server & xorg-server-common to version 1.12.1.902-1 issue remains the same.
So far, there was no alike problems in other programs.

Have anyone the same problem?

but you don't want to downgrade it. you will have this bug after: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29495

i suggest to try to ignore the minor rendering issue until is fixed.

Arch Linux
