while trying to report another bug, i had selected Component in the bugzilla bug query form and then moved to another component, the scrollbar for Component started repainting itself shifting left and right several pixels, while the knob scrolled down the whole thing was locked up

Sounds like this is probably a DUP of bug 18189, "[INC CONTENT SINK] select scrollbars display multiple times", M15. See the 2000-02-29 comments. sjbjava@yahoo.com, when you say crashed, did Mozilla crash entirely, stop responding at all, or just stop responding for an unreasonble length of time? Please say what the Build ID was of the Mozilla version you were using. It is found at the right-hand end of the status bar at the bottom of the browser window. Thanks.
