This will be a tracking bug for the many bugs that are _potentially_ duplicates of one another. In any case, these bugs are definitely related to each other, at least in their symptoms.
Please feel free to remove and add bugs to the dependency list. It's likely that all these reported problems are caused by one or two bugs that are rounding errors. Adding keyword qawanted to try to narrow the issues.

Thanks. Adding.

I can't find the bug number now, but there used to be one for the scrollbar "thumb" being drawn wrong. That was sort of fixed, but once in a while, the vertical scrollbar thumb leaves a 1 pixel gap at the bottom.

Maybe that is bug 80292.

This seems most closely related to bug 147453, although I'm not certain which one it falls under, so putting this in the tracker. Seeing this, no matter what DPI I seem to use, in varying levels of severity, irregardless of font. However, smaller fonts, unsurprisingly, hide the rounding error. http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/slantastic/demo.html for example, I see things like this: http://m8y.org/tmp/screengrab.png (that was a size 13 Tahoma) Tried a range of DPIs, from 85 to 120, a number of fonts in various sizes, and only tended to vary the amount of white showing until I drop below a critical font size. For above page, fonts ~<11 display the page fine on my machine, those above, mess it up. Windows 2000 SP3 running a nightly from 2003-04-18
Adding some bugs which I found to be depending from this meta-bug.

I added bugs 135012, 136012, 172162, 171282, 217313, 217825. They are all related to font corruption by one pixel shifts. Like many here I believe that all or most of these bugs are either caused by the same underlying problem, or are extremely closely related. However, the descriptions are sufficiently different (some talk about only scrolling causing the problem, some seem to be fixed by special display resolutions, etc.) that I'm hesitant to close them as duplicates, in order to not 'lose' important possibly useful debug information that has accumulated in all of the bugs.

CC'ing ian@hixie.ch and roc@ocallahan.org, since they are QA contact and assignee for many of the individual bugs in the dependency list. Perhaps knowledge of other, related bugs is in any way useful for them.

http://www.infimum.dk/HTML/slantinfo.html Just to add to the slantastic problem in an interesting way. This demo seems to render fine in Mozilla under windows. Under linux, regardless of what font size I choose, I get white lines appearing randomly throughout the demo.

Hi Thomas. The bugs you mentioned are all blocking this tracking (or meta) bug. You can see this at the top of the bug entry under "depends on". As the name indicates, its meant to ease keeping track of pixel rounding bugs. Probably one of those dependant bugs covers your testcase. And you can always check whether the latest nightly builds ( http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/, back up your profile!) still expose the issue at hand.
I totally overlooked the "Depends on" section, sorry about that. I need sleep. I just assumed the bug basically only needed to be fixed in one location, not separately for so many different cases. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm already running Minefield, and actually suffer from the rounding bug on my personal site, which is why I'm interested. So yes, my test case still shows the bug in the latest nightly.
I just thought I'd point out I just noticed the rounding errors I experienced are now gone in the latest trunk builds. The testcase I posted above (http://stifu.free.fr/dl/temp/1px-bug.html) also works fine now. I thought this was surprising, as none of the rounding bugs got marked as fixed recently.

Summary: single pixel rounding error tracking bug → [meta] single pixel rounding error tracking bug

I believe bug I noticed may be classified to belong here.
I am experiencing a bug when triangular svg:

<svg width="684.6" height="17.6" class="inclined right" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 181.1 4.657" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="m181.1 0v4.657h-181.1z" strokewidth="1.604"></path></svg>

is placed above square div content, one pixel line appears between the two.

Bug is present on desktop browser Firefox for developers, 90.0b3 (and earlier versions)
In other desktop browsers, i.e., Chrome, Edge, bug does not appear, i.e. there is no 1px line between svg and div box.

When I tweak svg (i.e. set d attribute to d="m181.1 0v4.7h-181.1z"), 1px line disappears. It is clearly some sort of a rounding problem.

Severity: normal → S3

closing as we haven't been using it for a while
