209459 - web pages and ui not painted/repainted after some time

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 208792

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Andreas Tschritter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de-DE; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de-DE; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

After using Firebird for some time, it starts not to paint/repaint websites. The
only things that are painted are areas that change after the page was loaded
like animated pictures.
The effect occured in all open windows at the same time.
The UI was drawn ok at first, but after minimizing and remaximizing the window,
the reload and the stop icon were gone and the homepage icon was shifted to the
left on their place.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Don't know how to exactly do this, I just surfed the web for some time. It did
only occur 2 times until now.



I am using Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with Terminal Services enabled and the
Firebird default theme

I just have the same problem, but now the webpages are painted but the ui is
only painted if something changes.
The only part of the ui that is painted is the title bar and the scroll bar.

Andreas, without some kind of a reproducable testcase, this bug is essentially
useless.

The repaint resumes if the browser screen is reduced to below 1200 pixels
horizontally and 1000 pixels vertically. Stretching the browser window beyond
these boundaries leaves unpainted trails. This is a new bug (didn't exist prior
to Netscape 7.1 or Mozilla 1.4).

[Ratko Tomic]

The repaint problem seems to be related to the total area of the screen, not to
the horizontal or vertical size alone. Once the problem starts (the repaint
ceases unless scrolling or resizing), resizing down the total area, horizontal
or verical (perhaps to 1024x768 equivalent) makes the problem go away. For
reproducing one needs to browse on the screen at least 1280x1024 (which is where
I see it several times a day). The simple clicking of the links or the back
button will trigger the problem and it stays in that state until the browser is
restarted or the screen area is reduced below some critical size.

Possibly a duplicate of bug 204374. I'm waiting on that a bit since it doesn't
have quite the same symptoms, no matter what though this is a duplicate of
208792 at least.
