Didn't help. I had tried that approach previously, based upon some posts
I found on Ubuntu forums, where folks had suggested the same thing.

There seems to be some specific conditions under which this phenomenon
exhibits itself. These seem to be xorg.conf settings, video driver and
certain image factors that appear to result in the shifting of page
layouts. I have not noted this behavior on largely text only pages.

other posts, this problem appears to now have a known cause, though the
solution is not imminent given the graphic interface issues raised in
the Mozilla and Freedesktop reports. 

Thanks,
