Investigated further and noticed that this issue is a regression:

- Last good revision: dac5700acf8b (2012-10-17)
- First bad revision: cb573b9307e5 (2012-10-18)
- Pushlog:

- I suspect that this issue is regressed by Bug 801280

Earlier today I submitted https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/7007, which is currently pending review.

This should be fixed in tomorrow's nightlies. Not sure this is severe enough to warrant worrying about backporting to 45/46, though.

Comment 5

[Vasilica Tamas, QA [:vtamas]]

Confirm that this issue is fixed on latest Firefox 47.0a1 (2016-02-21) under Windows 10 64-bit, Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit and Mac OS X 10.9.5.

Since this is in nightly, can the right owner mark it FIXED? I agree this is not a candidate for uplift.
