Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect, P3)

Description

[peacech]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run firefox
2. Open developer tools console in a popup window
3. Paste window.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => console.log(document.visibilityState));
4. Switch to another application which have maximized window to make the firefox window hidden (but not minimized).
5. Hover on any icons in the taskbar
6. The console will log hidden/visible even though the visiblity of the firefox windows does not change

This only happens if widget.windows.window_occlusion_tracking.enabled = true.
This does not happen if firefox window is minimized.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0

Actual results:

Hovering on any taskbar items when the firefox window is hidden but not minimized triggers visiblitychange.

Expected results:

visiblitychange should not be triggered when hoving on taskbar items while firefox window is hidden.

The bug has a release status flag that shows some version of Firefox is affected, thus it will be considered confirmed.

I confirmed the problem during hovering on the occluding window's icon in the taskbar. The same thing happened also with chrome browser.
