Rounded corners
Gregarius has been suffering from a wicked rendering bug in Firefox (everyones favourite browser) and other Gecko browsers. If you had lots of items on a page, certain frames would break and be painted in weird places. We knew that the code to display rounded corners was triggering this behavior and the solution, till now, has been to disable the Rounded Corners plugin.
It appears that the exact cause for this bug is in Bugzilla Bug 252241. Please vote for this bug so that it gets some attention. In the mean time we have hacked the rounded corners plugin to work around this bug. You can download the new version by clicking here and overwriting this file onto /rss/plugins/roundedcorners.php. It should be safe to do this even with version 0.5.2.
Why do we love rounded corners? It is because as children we quickly discover that sharp corners hurt us and smooth rounded objects are usually delicious. Mmm… Ever seen kids try to eat smooth pebbles that they find lying around?
