1757201 - invalidation bug with text-shadows + mix-blend-mode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, defect)

Description

[Aria Beingessner [:Gankra]]

Attachment: about:support

STR:

• go to https://gankra.github.io/blah/
• resize the window horizontally

alternative:

• go to https://gankra.github.io/blah/
• scroll down to the bottom of the page
• scroll back to the top of the page

expected result:

chromatic abberation-y "Faultlore" text should render properly (colored fringing but coherent)

actual result:

chromatic abberation-y "Faultlore" text has huge random blocks of solid red, is clearly being invalidated wrong

---

I incidentally already have a mostly reduced example of this at https://gankra.github.io/blah/rustblog/before.html.

The problematic input is:

• 3 nested copies of the text "Faultlore"
• text set to transparent
• each textrun has a different color shadow at a different offset (cyan, magenta, yellow)
• the textruns are merged with mix-blend-mode: darken

The net effect of this is that you get colorful printer-style bleeding around the edges but where the shadows all overlap you get a fairly clean black copy of the text. This is obviously very evil and not terribly surprising that it breaks webrender.

This appears to be a recent regression. I developed and tested this abomination in firefox nightly on this machine only a few days ago, and resizing the window never corrupted the result during that time.

not 100% sure this is invalidation after messing around with window resizing, but these corruption patterns are so weird that there's something clearly very messed up happening.

if it glitches for you if you pinch-zoom, might be a dupe of bug 1756929

A slightly more reduced test case

Regressor landed in 99

Comment 8

[Glenn Watson [:gw]]

Setting gfx.webrender.debug.force-picture-invalidation works around it for me, looks to be an issue where we don't invalidate either the correct bounding rects, or deeply enough in the surface hierarchy.

Comment 9

[Glenn Watson [:gw]]

Hmm, looks like there are two issues - setting gfx.webrender.debug.force-picture-invalidation fixes one problem, but there's still glitches during resize which look like a different bug.

possible to get a try build for testing?

Yup, you beat me to it - was just about it post it (artifacts not available yet but should be soon).

Added a bit of fuzziness to account for android hardware rendering and re-pushed.

I was able to reproduce the issue on Win10x64 using build 99.0a1(20220225104705), when scrolling up/down text appears Red.
Verified as fixed on Win10x64 / Ubuntu 20.4 / Mac 10.13 using builds: 99.0b4(20220315185755) and 100.0a1 (20220316095231).

:jgilbert there are some significant improvements associated with this change, can you confirm these are expected/genuine?

Comment 22

[Kelsey Gilbert [:jgilbert]]

@gw these seem high, or is this a kind of small-change-big-effect we expect here?

Comment 23

[Glenn Watson [:gw]]

The patch in this bug should only affect mix-blend-mode elements (and I wouldn't expect a major performance difference), which I doubt the above tests have? So it seems likely to be unrelated to this bug, perhaps an incorrect attribution?

Comment 24

[Dave Hunt [:davehunt] [he/him] ⌚BST]

Andra, could you review the alert to see if this is the correct bug to associate with this improvement?

Comment 25

[Andra Esanu (needinfo me)]

Thank you for this. It seems the culprit was a bit earlier, I've linked the alert to bug 1638466.
