On Windows 8 Consumer Preview... On some areas of a website the colors are wrong. It appears that is related only to cursor sensitive rollover areas. Often the area is blank until rolled over. Other times the fill is only half (bottom half). Seems to work fine on Win7.

Hey,

this *might* be related to hardware acceleration. Try updating your graphics driver first: Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

Then go to Tools > Options, click the Advanced tab, click General and remove the tick next to Enable hardware acceleration.

Keep in mind that Firefox does not officially support Windows 8, and it won't until Firefox 14. Your graphics drivers also may not support windows 8 fully.
