Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0

Steps to reproduce:

How to reproduce:
1) Start linux (to be specific, "lunar lobster" lubuntu)
2) Open firefox (to be specific, 114.0.2 (64-bit) mozilla firefox snap for ubuntu canonical-002 - 1.0)
3) Load a page where there are known to be blurred text shadows. An example page would be the mdn web docs page for text shadow, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-shadow

Actual results:

Text shadow works, unless the blur value is non-zero. Blurred shadows on text do not render.

Expected results:

Blurred text-shadow should render.

I can't reproduce this on Firefox 115 canonical on Ubuntu 22.04. Moving this to Core > Layout to allow the developers to take a closer look at this issue. If this is not the right component, please assign a more appropriate one. Thanks!

I am experiencing the error in firefox 114 on Lubuntu, and my firefox does not seem to want to update. Is this just a matter of waiting for a new update to receive a known bugfix that exists in a later version?

Update: I've tested the latest nightly build, and this bug does not appear to exist in that version. Blurred shadows DO render in that version, but not the 114.0 version that's current for my OS & flavor.

However, I do not plan to use nightly builds, so I'm hoping that this fix is eventually updated within the normal version.

The severity field is not set for this bug.
:alaskanemily, could you have a look please?

Can you run:

$ pip3 install --user mozregression
$ mozregression --bad 114 --find-fix https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-shadow

And/or attach your about:support? Seems likely to be a driver issue or somesuch.
