It definitely looks like something relating to Skia and D2D1.1. lsalzman, any ideas?

Comment 1

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

The crash in comment 0 is with D2D acceleration, and the correlation is with unaccelerated (Skia kicks in when there is no acceleration), so I'm convinced this has anything to do with it.

Comment 2

[Lee Salzman [:lsalzman]]

This does not appear to be related to Skia, as the user here, as noted by Milan, was using D2D, and we don't have anything showing up in the patch history modifying Skia related things at the tail-end of September.
