1446417 - Issue in rendering on windows server 2008 R2

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1435472

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Attachment: Broken rendering.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180310025718

Steps to reproduce:

After updating to 59, some rendering issues happen, but only on my windows server 2008 R2 (not on my windows 10 box).

I only checked with JUnit4 faq. On the contrary, I don't have the issue with bugzilla's guidelines.

Go to https://junit.org/junit4/faq.html
Left clic on any link in the toc  => the rendering is ok, done in the same tab. OK!
Right clic on the same link => a new tab opens with broken rendering : no text is visible.

Hovering over text (or selecting it) some times make it appear. I also noted that selected text does not seem be 'unselectable'.

This bug seems similar to bug #1424725 reported on firefox 57 for windows 7 but solved by the opener through profile reset. Deleting cache content, reset profile did not fix the issue for me.




Actual results:

Not text is rendered in tabs other than the first one for the given site (see screenshot).


Expected results:

The site should be rendered correctly :) (see screenshot)

hi, thanks for reporting this. we are currently looking into this issue in bug 1435472

so far it appears to be an issue that only affects users who have turned off cleartype font rendering within their windows settings. so a workaround for the moment would either be to turn cleartype back on or disabling hardware acceleration in firefox:

Hello,

I confirm that I have clear to disabled. Turning it on solves the issue.

Thanks!
