647879 - [NVIDIA] page messed up when scrolling with fixed background image

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Axure]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

An ugly bug appears in FF4 in Windows 7. It happens when you scroll a webpage with a fixed-image background in both axes. Basically the whole page gets messed up. ("Fixed" means bg img doesn't move when you scroll the page.)

Here is an example HTML code: http://pastebin.com/aQJN4ARk
Here is what it looks like before scrolling (good): http://postimage.org/image/11i2yll5w/
Here is what it looks like after scrolling (bad): http://postimage.org/image/11il5ielg/
The latter image was achieved by scrolling the page a tiny bit to the right, then a bit down.

It does not happen in other browsers in Win7. It does [b]not[/b] happen in FF4 in Win XP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. paste code from http://pastebin.com/aQJN4ARk into empty html document and save
2. open document
3. scroll a little down
4. scroll a little right
Actual Results:  
Both the background and the foreground objects (here: a couple of divs) are rendered improperly.

Expected Results:  
Normal scrolling of foreground divs against a fixed background image.

Does setting "gfx.direct2d.disabled" to "true" via "about:config" and restarting Firefox show a Difference?

If yes, please post the Content of the Graphics Section you can get via "about:support" after you set it back to "false" and restarted.

Nope, disabling Direct2D does not help.

BTW, I didn't know there's such an awesome hidden config panel. ;)

FYI: Out of curiosity I've downloaded Firefox 3.6.16 and in it this problem does not occur. 

Q: Were you able to reproduce this bug? Do you have Win7?

Will Mozilla at least acknowledge this bug?

I've thrown out var names, 'cuz they're in Polish, but I'm sure you can figure it out:

Hmm, does it happen if you set layers.prefer-d3d9 to true with D2D keeping enabled?

Comment 7

[Axure]

Yup, bug stays. Also with layers.prefer-opengl and layers.acceleration.disabled.

Comment 8

[Axure]

Does anyone here have Windows 7 64-bit to confirm or deny that this bug indeed happens universally on this system with FF4?

BTW, I noticed it happens only when scrolling begins from the top edge of the webpage. For instance if I first scroll a little down (it gets messed up), then minimize the window, then bring it back (it gets cleaned up - redrawn), then scroll down a little more - it doesn't happen any further. But then if I scroll all the way to the top and then down a little bit - it's messed up again.

Bug still present in 4.0.1

Comment 10

[Axure]

What's going on with Mozilla support? No-one acknowledged this bug, not to mention fixing it.

Comment 11

[[not reading bugmail]]

I don't see this ATI Direct3D 10. The testcase works for me - Win7 32bit FF4, could be a Nvidia related bug only.

Is it possible that you can test against the latest Drivers?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-win7-winvista-64bit-270.71-whql-driver.html (hope I got them right).

Comment 13

I'm using the latest notebook driver, 270.61.
(The one you pointed to is desktop.)

BTW, code repost, as old one expired: http://pastebin.com/0u4DBicS

OK, I've tried this on my friend's desktop computer. It run Win7 64bit and FF 4.0.1 on one of the newer NVidia cards. No problem whatsoever. So perhaps it's some problem with my hardware, I don't know. Weird, but what can you do.

We should still keep this open, possibly we'd have to blacklist your device for acceleration, although I'm not sure.

No blacklisting happened since 2011, i guess it's no longer necessary
