765914 - -moz-device-pixel-ratio misreported as 1.0 instead of 2.0 on Mac HiDPI display

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

Attachment: ratio.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0a1
Build ID: 20120618030531

Steps to reproduce:

Media queries using -moz-device-pixel-ratio or min--moz-device-pixel-ratio report the -moz-device-pixel-ratio value as 1.0 when running on a HiDPI screen, which should report a ratio of 2.0 (MacBook Pro with Retina display).

(Note that this is on a nightly with layers acceleration disabled, as per notes on bug 674373.)

Run the attached HTML file with a little scripting to check media queries.


Actual results:

Firefox nightly shows output:
"-device-pixel-ratio is 1.0 or higher."

indicating that -moz-device-pixel-ratio is 1 or higher  but not higher than 1.5.


Expected results:

Safari and Chrome Canary build show expected output:
"-device-pixel-ratio is 1.0 or higher. 1.5 or higher. 2.0 or higher."

indicating that -webkit-device-pixel-ratio is 2 or higher but not higher than 3.

Are we actually displaying at 2 CSS pixels per device pixel, and reporting 1, or are we displaying incorrectly too?

When I filed this, nightlies were running at high resolution when gfx acceleration was off, but changes to the painting code are running everything through low-resolution buffers now.

So hopefully once everything's fixed to knowingly do high-res rendering through the whole pipeline, that should fix this...

Sample file seems to work as expected using Jonathan Kew's test build from bug  674373 comment 116. Yay!

This now works as expected on nightly since bug 674373 landed.
