2018-08-01 (Fx63) seems completely fine. Then we got two bugs and one was fixed.


good: 2018-08-01 (Fx63) seems completely fine.
bad: 2018-10-01 (Fx64): Submenu was buggy (misplaced text and cut-off elements), but sub-submenu did not have white flickering.

I can repro this locally, but probably won't have a chance to investigate this week.

Dzmitry, would you have time this week to take a look? Otherwise, I could investigate next week.

Flags: needinfo?(gwatson) → needinfo?(dmalyshau)
Severity: -- → S3
Priority: -- → P3

I haven't got time to look at it this week, will keep it on the radar for the next one.
From the gifs, it looks to be related to 3D and plane splitting.

Interestingly, the behavior has changed now, and it looks like this.
The only related change I know to this that has come in recently is of bug 1657690

Confirmed, bug 1657690 comment 4 changed the behavior from comment 0 into comment 4.

Attached file spatial-1-0.tree

Spatial tree of a WR capture. The relative transform from node 7 to node 2 shows up to be front-face visible, were we are expecting it to be back face.

When we are looking at a transform of an element relative to the surface
it's rendered into, we used to only consider the final transformation
when determining back-face visibility.
However, in case there are any Flat reference frames on the way,
the transformation is flattened. We should be checking for back-face
visibility on each such step.

This doc was helpful, although it doesn't have all the answers:
