1299754 - CSS filter broken on some web pages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1258421

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[o9000]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open https://www.facebook.com/
2. Open the dev tools (Ctrl+Shift+I)
3. Click on the html element
4. In the CSS rules tab on the right, add a filter:

element {
    filter: brightness(80%);
}


Actual results:

The entire page turns blank.


Expected results:

The brightness should have been reduced properly.

Similar results occur with other filters (contrast, invert).

I am developing an accessibility extension that uses filters to reduce brightness. It would be great if filters worked consistently on all websites. Currently they only work on some pages, but not others.

Running Firefox 48.0.2 under Ubuntu 14.04 on an i7-3770S using its integrated graphics.

I think a style sheet affect inline filters. Could you check below after your STR?

- Open Stylesheet Editor (Shift+F7)
- Disable each style sheet individually
- You can find a style sheet that affect inline filters

Good idea. The style that causes the problem is:

i.img u{left:-999999px;position:absolute}

Apparently it occurs only for very large absolute values of left.
