1011390 - HTML5 video fullscreen is downscaled by a few pixels if the video and the desktop resolution are the same

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect)

Description

Attachment: Firefox 31 Aurora 2014-05-15

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130910160258

Steps to reproduce:

As far as I can tell this bug occurs in any and all existing versions of Firefox.

1. Set desktop resolution to 1280x720 without upscaling (1:1 pixel mapping)

2. Enable the YouTube HTML5 player via https://www.youtube.com/htmlp

3. Watch this video in fullscreen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG6wjMuP_Ig

4. Observe the per-pixel clarity, especially that of the on-screen text

5. Right click the video, select "Stats for nerds"


Actual results:

The text in the video was blurrier than if I played back the very same video in Chrome or in VLC, MPC-HC, etc.  Also the "Stats for nerds" says that the video dimensions were being displayed at 1278x719.


Expected results:

The text in the video should have pixel-perfect clarity; also "Stats for nerds" should show the video dimensions being displayed at 1280x720.

I would just like to point out that my use of 1280x720 was just an example, this applies to 1920x1080 as well (I just didn't have a good example video to show that).  Considering the popularity of 1920x1080 displays in HDTVs, monitors, and laptops, this issue will effect quite a few people come Firefox 31 with the enabling of DASH VP9 playback on YouTube.

Note that bug 729011 doesn't explain the two-pixel narrower width.

On my 1920x1080 display Firefox 32.0.2 following 1920x1080 image is scaled  to 1918x1979
(right click -> view image info)

So this problem applies not only to videos.

I'm using Fedora 20:
X.Org X Server 1.14.4

Xidorn - looks like a subtle fullscreen issue

I cannot reproduce this issue on Windows with DOM fullscreen on the current Aurora, either with image or with video. Youtube works perfectly for me as well. (See the attachment)

Note that the video fullscreen (which uses the Fullscreen API) is different with the fullscreen mode (which is triggered via F11 / Cmd-Shift-F).

Bug 729011 is about fullscreen mode, where we do take one pixel on the top to capture mouse event. We probably should also fix that, but that bug is unrelated to this.

Let me mark it as WORKSFORME. If anyone finds that it isn't really fixed, feel free to reopen this bug and provide your system info (which platform? what version?) and probably also testcase or steps to reproduce.
