When typing in text boxes there are strange looking bars appearing below the text. I use Vista and Firefox 4.0.

Update the video display driver to the latest version.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox 4.0: Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available"

I know what a spellchecker is.

The bars are strange as I can see a vimeo logo sometimes.
