Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Nightly (2019-07-17) with a new profile. WebRender is enabled by default.
  2. Open a web page with a text area or text input (e.g. https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea)
  3. Start typing reasonably quickly in the said text area.
    3'. Alternatively, hold a letter and release it after a couple of seconds.
    3''. Alternatively, go to about:config and hold a letter in the search text box; stop from time to time and watch the results panel. The new preference name should be the same as the contents of the search box, however it flickers to a shorter length, then back.

Actual results:

Once every 10 seconds or so, the last typed letter (and possibly the cursor, too) disappears, then shows up again a short while later. When it's not glitching, the displayed text is correct. The effect is as if an old frame is redered instead of the current one.

Expected results:

No glitches while typing.

More details:

  • I see this on Windows 10 1903. I'm not sure if it happens on older versions
  • disabling WebRender fixes the issue
  • opening Game Mode (Win-G) and using the screen recording functionality fixes the issue (while recording is running)
  • I just realized that my graphics driver is ancient. I'll try to update it and re-test

The issue still occurs after upgrading to the latest Intel GPU drivers (26.20.100.6912). Also, it doesn't happen on Linux.

Thanks! This sounds like a duplicate of bug 1556634.

:darkspirit thanks, it looks like a duplicate indeed. I don't think it's Intel-only, as it also happens with my NVIDIA GPU.
