Weird screen corruption

[Guest Simon O]

I first noticed last night that I had some screen corruption on the phone. After a lot of playing I've found out that I only get the corruption when I've pulled the notification bar down whilst using the web browser in landscape mode.

At first I thought this was a problem with the screen itself but I decided to check this by taking a screen grab using the Android SDK. Lo and behold the corruption shows up in the screen grab. So I'm relieved it's not a screen problem.

This is the corruption I get. It only happens in a specific place:

Then it goes back to normal:

The corruption flicks on and off quite regularly. It only happens in landscape mode so I'm 100% sure it's not a hardware problem. But why is it happening?

I've made an example of this:

Update: This seems to only happen with network access. I've tested it with WiFi and 3G and the corruption only happens when loading a webpage in the background, and only on the notification bar... it's very odd.

Perhaps try with a different browser and see what happens.

Can be that the network driver is leaking? There should be no connection between them, if there is thats a big problem.. But only a software problem, so a custom rom will fix it..
