Sliding text in Firefox location/search bars
It has come to my attention that, when I use a bitmap font for my GTK apps, the text in Firefox's search and location bars tends to slide arround annoyingly when selected. Here's a screenshot of this:
The "sliding" is visible in the circled areas.
Is there anything that can be done about this?

Same problem, but with amsn, which is written in tcl/tk. And the font used is gothic, I'm not sure if it's bitmapped.

Re: Sliding text in Firefox location/search bars
Anyone know the reason this occurs in apps that aren't pure GTK? Does it have something to do with Cairo? Firefox can IIRC be compiled with Cairo support - would that fix it?
