Description

[Adrian Tamas (:AdrianT)]

Attachment: logs

Nightly 15.0a1 2012-05-16
Device: HTC Desire Z
OS: Android 2.3.3

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to planet.mozilla.org
2. Do a few flick scrolls without waiting for the layout to be displayed.
3. Minimize Fennec using the "Home" button.

Expected results:
Drawing is stopped and resumed when Fennec is maximized again.

Actual results:
Sometimes the phone is soft restarted, sometimes a black screen is displayed ( Covered by Bug 754253) and sometimes the low resolution screenshots are locked and never replaced by the actual content( Covered by Bug 755415)

Notes:
Please see the videocapture: http://youtu.be/MdDB2GNNYFQ

I was unable to reproduce the issue on Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.0.2), Motorola Droid Pro (Android 2.3.4), Samsung Captivate (Android 2.2) and HTC Desire (Android 2.2). On the HTC Desire following the steps results in crashes.

Can you try with the same build that was listed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755415#c7 ? It will probably fix this problem as well.

CC'ing ali and vlad just to keep them in the loop.
