1622549 - canvas linear gradient now works on linux but not on windows

Status: NEW

(Core :: Graphics, defect, P3)

Description

[Dusan Halicky]

Attachment: Demo code

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0

Steps to reproduce:

I want to fill rectangle in HTML canvas using linear gradient from pure black rgba(0,0,0,1) to almost opaque red rgba(255,0,0,0.1). On linux this works but on windows it does not. The gradient is just gray. On chrome it works on both linux and windows so it seems it is not graphical driver issue.

Actual results:

Gray gradient instead of red gradient.

Here is image comparing all browsers: https://ghost.sk/54.png

Expected results:

Gradient should be red.

Reproduced on Windows 10 with the latest Nightly, both WebRender enabled and disabled.

Bas, this looks like a regression from your patch for bug 1427063.
It is similar to bug 1509396, but for canvas element. Since the second bug has not changed since 2018, this is probably not urgent. Are there any plans to fix this?
