1090338 - Zooming does not work properly and the background is black in Google Maps while HWA is enabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Camelia Badau [:cbadau], Desktop QA]

Reproducible on Firefox 34 Beta 4 (buildID: 20141027152126)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox.
2. Go to Google Maps (http://www.google.com/maps/preview/?force=webgl). 
3. Switch to Earth mode and zoom in/zoom out. 
4. Resize the Firefox window. 

Expected results: Map is zoomed in correctly and text labels, markers are displayed as expected.

Actual results: 
After step 3, with HWA enabled, zooming does not work properly in Earth mode: zooming only applies to the text (e.g. street names) displayed on top of the background (if HWA is disabled, zooming works properly in Earth mode). 
After step 4, the background of Earth mode is changed to a flat black while HWA is enabled.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: This seems likely to affect many users.

Milan - Another Google Maps graphics related issue. Related to bug 1085203?

Comment 3

[Milan Sreckovic [:milan] (needinfo for best results)]

I imagine so.  Long discussion on mozilla-google-discuss on this.

Comment 4

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

We need to see if this related to the ANGLE update.

Comment 7

[testit]

The problem is not limited to Google Maps, it occurs at many locations. I've just uploaded a screenshot of the AMO entry of AdBlockPlus where you can see black background at the left and the right. This background vanishs after 2 seconds. I had also problems writing a private message in a phpBB powered forum. This was just not possible because the text was overlayed every now and then by a black layer.

We released 33.1. I don't think it is a driver for a 33.1.1.

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Testit, thanks for the further report!  What hardware and OS are you using, and which version of Firefox?

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 580 with Windows 7 and Firefox 33.1.

This seems to be the same as the issue reported in bug 1089139 (marked as a duplicate of 1085203), which seems to have gone away in Firefox 34 Beta 10 with the fix for 1085203. Does that make any sense?

Comment 12

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

Camelia - Can you still reproduce with 34 beta10?

Comment 13

[testit]

I just tried ff 34 beta 10. The problem seems to be solved.

Comment 14

[Camelia Badau [:cbadau], Desktop QA]

The issue is no longer reproducing with Firefox 34 Beta 10. It seems to be resolved.

Comment 15

[Camelia Badau [:cbadau], Desktop QA]

I verified the issue 
- using latest Nightly 36.0a1(buildID: 20141119030200) - it works ok 
- using latest Firefox Developer Edition 35.0a2 (buildID: 20141119144355) - it doesn't work (zooming does not work properly and the background is black in Google Maps)

I've tested on Windows 7 64bit (Intel HD 2500), Windows 7 64bit (ATI Radeon 3000) and Windows 8.1 32bit (ATI Radeon 3000).

Comment 16

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

Marking this bug as fixed based on comment 15. Note that Aurora is still affected.

Comment 17

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

Does this still reproduce in Beta 35?  It looks like bug 1085203 is verified and so this shouldn't be reproducing.

Comment 18

[Camelia Badau [:cbadau], Desktop QA]

The issue is no longer reproducing with Firefox 35 Beta 5.

I've tested on Windows 7 64bit (Intel HD 2500, ATI Radeon 3000 and NVIDIA GeForce 210), Windows 8.1 32bit (ATI Radeon 3000) and Windows 8.1 64bit (Intel HD 2500).

[[SV Manager] Florin Mezei, QA (:FlorinMezei)]

Marking as Verified on 35 based on comment 17 and comment 18.
