1396033 - Background of Bloomberg article-headline is askew in Firefox

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 1391430

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect, P2)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Visit this URL in Firefox on Android:
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-kushners-china-deal-flop-was-part-of-much-bigger-hunt-for-cash/

 2. Look at the fast-slideshow of images behind the article headline (which look like building floor plans)

EXPECTED RESULTS:
The images should look nice and square -- top-down floor plan views.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
The images are askew - the lines that should be vertical are squashed ~45 degrees to the right.


I suspect there's some transformed layer that's getting mis-transformed here, or something.

AFFECTED: Firefox Nightly (57.0a1 2017-08-31) on Android

UNAFFECTED:
 Firefox Beta (56.0b7) on Android
 Firefox Nightly on Desktop

So this seems to be a regression in current Nightly, and it seems to be Android-only (not Desktop).

Happens if you load the animated GIF standalone too.

Andrew, you've been poking at some of this stuff recently, do you know what might be happening? It works fine in FF beta, so it's a relatively recent regression.

Yes this was my regression. I fixed it, but it did not land on central until yesterday afternoon. Either the current or next nightly release for Android should pick it up. Please reopen if the issue is still there after updating (and paste the build ID from about:support so I can confirm the presence or lack thereof of the fix).

Yup, just noticed & installed today's update via Play Store & confirmed that the updated version is unaffected.

--> Verified dupe. Thanks!
