1442573 - Page blinking with images(contents too but easy with images using ctrl+w) in Firefox with multiprocess

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P3)

Description

[u601173]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180301223350

Steps to reproduce:



This is just a very annoying bug so bear with me

now just alt-tab(no issues occur reported below)

now close tab one by one as soon as content is displayed(The problem occurs now)
Tab blinks unlike alt-tab where it shows the contents

say ctrl+w 1sec (blink happens) again ctrl=w (page again blinks) this happens just for a tiny fraction of a second but very noicable,
this works fine if using alt-tab even while in a heavy session(even with 100+ images and idle for 20mins)

So disabled browser.tabs.remote.autostart;false

now repeat, problem fixed.
Thought might be tab warming but was disabled, so thinking this is a elementary e10 problem?

As a user who opens a ton of images for important use, the small blinks gives a head ache,
can this be fixed?
or should I keep using
browser.tabs.remote.autostart;false

P.S used a default new profile
and reinstalled windows twice with/with out drivers on three of my laptops(different GPU s)

HW/Sw makes no difference
only disabling multi process is the fix

Ni? because think this might be important to 

bug 789573

Comment 2

[Nicolas Silva [:nical]]

Sounds like "async image <something>". Andrew, is this behavior expected?

Comment 3

[u601173]

Attachment: blink with e10s

Comment 4

[u601173]

Attachment: no blinks with e10s off

Comment 5

[u601173]

Is there an animation involved too?
CPU/power spikes a bit too so not sure whats going on
only disabling multi process is the fix

Comment 6

[Hiroyuki Ikezoe (:hiro)]

I think there is no CSS animations/transitions.

Comment 7

[u601173]

can you guys please look into this as ESR60 is closing on release & his seems to be a major regression
NI? for above reason.

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

Can you find a regression window using https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/?

Encountered this same issue for a long time so finally got time to run mozregression

No matter which way cannot find the bug which caused the problem

Another issue similar to this is
load any site
use mouse-wheel to scroll on screen at a time(run-> main.cpl ->wheel in run in windows)
there is similar blink but fixed with layout.display-list.retain=false

After more testing 
it looks like a white flash just occurs when using KB shortcuts to close tabs relatively quickly.

Like @OP disabled multiprocess and flashes where gone.
Hope this helps!

Comment 18

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

I'm not able to reproduce this bug on my computer, but this looks like a graphics problem from what the e10s videos show. Bug 1237654 that Alice found definitely looks related or the same issue. A graphics engineer would need to review the about:support info for any known issues with the GPU.

Does this issue only happen for tabs that are loading image URLs directly? Or does it happen when closing regular web pages, too? Perhaps Firefox's graphics code does something differently when rendering a tab that is just an image.

Comment 19

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] 🇵🇱 - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

As already pointed by Alice0775 White, this bug could be duplicate of bug #1237654, if "toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled" or "browser.tabs.animate" is set to "false" in about:config.

It happens on images and pages but it's easy to see in images, alt-tab does not have the problem.

Sorry but Mozregression-gui did not work but if you want can try again

Comment 25

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] 🇵🇱 - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

I would gladly try, but I can't reproduce this issue.
Only bug #1237654 is reproducible for me.

You can try narrow it manually by hand to one of daily builds, as you done in Comment #9, if mozregression-gui isn't reliable in this case for you.

It's mostly the same but without the pref change, if it ever gets fixed might fix this too.
It was introduced between version 44 and 45
but the pref change one is recent?

(In reply to Emilio from comment #26)
> Okay how to get the daily build manually?

Firstly, don't forget to backup your Firefox profile before testing and restoring it after test, as in most cases downgrading will breaks some things.

1. Open this website page:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/
2. Select year and month, so it will be like this:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2015/09/
3. Open Find bar (Ctrl+F) and "Highlight all" "mozilla-central" to get better visibility of builds you want to try (ignore "mozilla-central-debug" builds)
4. Basing on Comment #9
good build: 2015-09-21
bad build: 2015-10-29
so you may want to try 2015-10-10:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2015/10/2015-10-10-03-02-34-mozilla-central/
32bit build:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2015/10/2015-10-10-03-02-34-mozilla-central/firefox-44.0a1.en-US.win32.zip
64bit build:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2015/10/2015-10-10-03-02-34-mozilla-central/firefox-44.0a1.en-US.win64.zip
and if still good, go for 2015-10-18 etc...



(In reply to Emilio from comment #27)
> but the pref change one is recent?
No, it's old one, but it could or not be related. For now it looks like similar, but not same.

Comment 29

[Jason Mechelynck]

Is there any easy work around for this or timeline to fix this?

Comment 30

[Jason Mechelynck]

If some one is unable to reproduce this problem but wants to know exactly what happens.
There is a way, just copy the files in the zip into profile, open latest nightly 62,wait for a minute or two,
start closing tabs as soon a content is displayed/painted fully using keyboard.

or

load all pages using click or ctrl+tab,
wait for a minute or two and now start closing from tab1.

Comment 31

Attachment: error.zip

Comment 32

[Jason Mechelynck]

There is all kinds of black/white flashes when closing the tabs, loaded or unloaded after a minute of wait.

Disabling e10s fixes this.

Bill can you help verify this please.

Comment 33

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Someone on the Graphics team will need to investigate this problem.

Comment 34

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

I don't think this is a graphics issue - I'm pretty certain this is an async tab switcher issue.

this was a tricky one,  I hope this helps.

Comment 37

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Luca, Rares' regression range in comment 36 points to your browser.window.getLastFocused bug 1458918. Do you think your fix could blinking images? Could it have caused bug 1237654?

Comment 38

[Luca Greco [:rpl] [:luca] [:lgreco]]

Looking at the patches landed by Bug 1458918, it seems that the only part that could be related to this issue are the changes applied on browser/base/content/browser.js here:

- https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/diff/c27c992dc802/browser/base/content/browser.js

which are related to the adopting tabs, and that code should be actually used only when a new browser window is being created and initialized. 

I may be wrong, but at a first glance it doesn't seem that the changes applied by Bug 1458918 can be directly responsible for the images blinking issue that I can see in the attached screencasts.

Also, it looks that this issue has been reported 5 months ago (and Bug 1237654 has been reported 3 years ago), but Bug 1458918 has been landed only 2 months ago.

Comment 39

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Fix-optional for 62, though we could still take an uplift request if anyone lands a patch for this in 63.

Comment 40

[saproeno]

anyone landing a patch for this in 63?

Comment 41

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Too late to fix in 63. We could still take a patch for 65 and potentially for 64.

Comment 42

[Clara Guerrero ( Need Info Brindusa Tot Please)]

Hi,

I've tested this using the latest Nightly 74.0a1 (2020-02-10) (64-bit), beta 73.0b11 (64-bit) and release 72.0.2 (64-bit) for windows 10 pro and I’m not able to reproduce the issue. Based on this I will mark firefox72, 73 and 74 flag as unaffected.

Best,
Clara
