1796608 - [wayland] Tabs cease to render but still respond invisibly (regression)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[luis.pabon]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0

Steps to reproduce:

This is a regression on latest firefox nightly.

• Ubuntu
• Sway 1.7
• Firefox nightly 108.0a1 2022-10-20 (snap edge channel)

Actual results:

After a while pottering about normally on the browser, tabs cease to respond visually. You can click on tabs and create new ones, but the firefox window won't update.

Only a full re-draw (eg when moving to another display with different scale or resolution or resizing the window). Even then, the tab bar still won't update, it will be the current tab's contents being displayed.

You can interact with the page and it updates correctly.

Expected results:

None of that

Never mind the user agent on the previous comment, I had to revert to Firefox 107 on a different profile to be able to work today.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Could not reproduce issue on Ubuntu 20.04 using snap build 108.0a1(20221028022530) - canonical-002.
Does this also happen with a new and empty profile? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile? Thank you so much.
