Details

Tested on: Windows 10, High DPI (225%), Firefox Nightly 2019-03-13

STR:

  • Open Firefox
  • Resize it to the same height as some other running app, for comparison
  • Repeatedly exit and re-launch Firefox

The window gets a few pixels shorter every time. It does not happen at 100% nor 200% OS scaling settings, only 225%. At first guess I suspect a rounding issue.

This got in the way of me doing Speedometer test runs because eventually the page got cut off.

Hi, I managed to reproduce this issue in all versions of Firefox with a scaled Windows 10 to 225%.

This seems very similar to bug 1493472, maybe a dupe. Interesting to know this happens only with some DPI settings!
