I get this on my TiBook G4, too. If a jpg is big enough the green doesn't go away till I zoom out enough. No matter how small the pic, the green shadow shows only on the picture not on the grey background area of the larger-than-picture window. I see that right now where a test pic peeks out from behind this email window. When zooming in and out, sometimes the geren goes away without clicking, sometimes without and when the picture's big enough--it doesn't go away at all. Hmmm.
