Firefox skinning problem after screen lock

from Stardock Forums
Greetings.
I believe I'm having an issue with windowblinds and firefox and I'm not quite sure how to resolve it. After unlocking my screen (something I do frequently throughout the day), my firefox window is malformed. I'm including an image of what I'm talking about below. Anyone know how to resolve this? I've tried disabling WB for firefox via per-app settings, but it's not working...

Thanks!

That's a good size gap you have there.   

For completeness sake: version of FF, Version of WB, sys info from WB config

FF 1.5.0.6
WB 5.0.1i.013
WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

This is because :

Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.

Ugg... That should be 5.0.1i [ b ] .013

In other news, I think IE7 hates the forum editor..

I'm currently using the "Aqua OS X Panther" skin.

I have seen this occur with another skin though, trying to remember what it was.. I believe it was the Blackcombe skin.

I just noticed that .14 was posted, I'm rebooting now to check it out.

I don't think this is an issue with windowblinds. I had it before and it was an issue with another extension and the firefox skin I used (incompatibility issue).
Can't remember what extension that was.

.14 didn't fix it either. I'll try disabling all of the extensions and see if that fixes it. I initially thought the same thing and tried narrowing it down. I actually did narrow it down to the google toolbar extension, but I've since reproduced the problem without that extension enabled.

I am so absolutely confused as to the cause of this problem. It seems any extension that adds a toolbar to the view causes this issue.

Any thoughts?

don't use any extension that adds a toolbar

So after more testing I'm relatively convinced that this is a WindowBlinds issue. Disabling WB removes any trace of the problem. So where do I go from here? I suppose I'll open a tech support ticket on the issue and see how that flows..
