Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-shadow, scroll to the examples.


Actual results:

In the second example, shadow artifacts appear at the descenders.
Blocks: 715768
Another STR:
1. Set gfx.content.azure.enabled to True.
2. Add the following CSS in Stylish (blank style), or both userChrome.css and userContent.css:
    * { text-shadow: 0px 0px 1px #909090 !important; }
3. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descender

NB1: The artifact is present only if the blur-radius is exactly 1px.
NB2: The artifact is present at default zoom level only.
-----------

The above text-shadow also creates artifacts on tabs with some page titles only.
I suspect this is an artifact from not having EXTEND_NONE. Anyone who by any chance knows how these shadows are drawn back onto the final surface?
nsTextFrame::PaintOneShadow calls nsContextBoxBlur::DoPaint calls gfxAlphaBoxBlur::Paint calls gfxContext::Mask. Mask is called with a solid-color source and the blurred alpha as the mask surface.
Since mask is unbound my theory about EXTEND_NONE is probably correct, I'll look into adding a rectangular clip. That should fix this usecase without much of a performance cost.
You mean add a 1px border to the mask surface and clip to the original mask extents when drawing into the mask?
This patch should fix the issue.

This solution seems easier. But I could do that if you'd have a strong preference.
