1073881 - Flash bars are showing solid black on all web pages, including the Add on's menu

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1074024

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[rajp13]

Attachment: Black1.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20140923222114

Steps to reproduce:

Open a webpage that has flash on it and all the flash objects are covered in Black.   A good example is when I'm scrolling through the add-on's manager as I scroll down the a large black field starts growing as I scroll I will attach a screen shot.  

Interestingly enough whilst I"m typing in these boxes they completely turn black.

If you would like more Screenshots I have plenty more to send. 

I am Running Firefox V 33.0 Beta.

Shockwave Flash V 15.0.0.152

Java V 10.67.2.1

Windows Vista 32bit



Actual results:

 A good example is when I'm scrolling through the add-on's manager as I scroll down the a large black field starts growing as I scroll I will attach a screen shot. 

It makes it really difficult to read anything on the screen, as it looks like its trying to highlight everything on the pane.   But it doesn't do that, all the text remains the same color. 


Expected results:

Should be able to scroll down without any blackness on the screen, Flash bars and content should show up as normal. 

The page shouldn't be showing black at all actually, I can't even read version numbers or update histories on the Add-on's page.

Sounds like a graphics issue with HWA.

Could you test with HWA disabled, please. (restart FF to apply)

In addition, type about:support in the location bar and paste the section "graphics" here.

Nical, Bas, any chance that is a duplicate or something caused by OMTC or D3D11? Thanks

Probably fixed by bug 1074045 (it's in FF33b8) but the reporters need to confirm.

I suspect this was caused by turning off OMTC.
