User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

Steps to reproduce:

Note: This problem doesn't occur on Firefox 75 only 68 (ESR)

Actual results:

The initially shared image of the Word window is correct.
When you make changes to the document (type text, scroll around etc) those are not shown in the shared stream. When you resize the Word window the shared stream updates but further changes to the document are still not shown.

Expected results:

The shared stream should show a continuous stream of what you do in the Office document.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Component: Untriaged → WebRTC: Audio/Video
Product: Firefox → Core

Note: This was tested with MS Office 2013 and 2016. Unfortunately I do not have access to other versions.

This is the ESR uplift of 1559011, it's a small fix, would you consider for an uplift? From a discussion with Dan, I understand that we usually do not uplift those things but I better ask due to [wfh] effort.

We could, but it wouldn't be until 68.9esr shipping in June at this point. Also, given the relative lack of dupes, do we think this is really affecting a large number of ESR users?

Flags: needinfo?(ryanvm)

Since ESR 78 will be released at the end of June I don't think this is worth the effort. As there are viable workarounds I also don't see this as urgent and could very well live with waiting for the next ESR release.

In any case, I am gonna dup it to 1559011.
