1163603 - [e10s] flashing when starting throbber animation

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Luke Wagner [:luke]]

In e10s on Nightly on Linux, when the throbber area of the tab starts animating, sometimes it starts with a flash where the square around the throbber is painted the window background color for a few ms.  This doesn't reproduce all the time, but one case where I saw it happening more often is when using the 'Preview' button in wordpress.

I meant to add: this seems to have started more recently.

luke,  if you have time, can you try to determine if/when this regressed?

Comment 3

[Luke Wagner [:luke]]

I'm afraid I don't have the time, sorry.  I was hoping there might be an obvious culprit.

Ok,  no problem.  I need to get a Linux environment set up anyway. 

Triage team,  NI me and I'll dig up regressions window, if no one has any immediate idea what's happening here.(In reply to Luke Wagner [:luke] from comment #3)

I cannot reproduce this, not even occasionally. As such, I'm won't able to track down a regression

Luke, Are you still seeing this with latest Nightly?

Comment 7

[Luke Wagner [:luke]]

Woohoo, I can't reproduce this or bug 1165462.  I'm guessing something was fixed.

Luke, cool, thank you for checking.
