1106859 - Rendering issue. Jumping text to the top of the page. Overlapping text.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[mnmnc]

Attachment: RenderingEngineFailure.jpg - shows the problem with overlapped layers and sequential numbers being displayed out of the blue

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141125180439

Steps to reproduce:

Opened a webpage (github.com), moved to repository, clicked to edit the README.md file.

Firefox 34. Windows 8.1.
Hardware acceleration for Flash - disabled.


Actual results:

While editing and moving the cursor around the page and performing normal editing actions, some of the README.md file began to render on top of the page like a second layer on top of the normally rendered page. The incorrectly rendered text flickers when you move the cursor over some animated element on page - to be exact I moved the cursor over the scrollbar (the github scrollbar not Firefox scrollbar) on github.com page, but I'm not sure if that was what triggered the issue.
This is not the first time that happens and I think it might have happened on other pages as well. I'm pretty sure that if this is an actuall bug it affected late releases of Firefox 33 as well.
Please take a look at the attachment. You can clearly see the rendering failure. What is really interresting is that the numbers that show up in a ordered sequence (171819202122232425) over and over in the picture attached, are not part of the text I was editing. It might me some memory leak, it might be some javascript issue on the github page side. I left that for you to decide. Let me know if more information will be required - i will provide it gladly.


Expected results:

The page should be rendered correctly.

Can you post the graphics information from about:support?

And can you try if you can reproduce this problem in safe mode? ( https://support.mozilla.org/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode )

I'll try to reproduce in safe mode. I had never experienced this before. I always did use Adblock Plus, Ghostery and DownloadHelper. For a few months now I am also using addon called PrivacyBadger. I never had any problems with the former ones, hence I suspect that if this is an issue caused by addon - it will be PrivacyBadger fault.
