226435 - no more rendering/redrawing after loading many pages in many windows or tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 225977

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Aviolat]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr-FR; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr-FR; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

The rendering of all opened windows and tabs no longer works, except for menus
and toolbars. This happens after loading many (large) web pages such as images
in many new tabs or new windows.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open (large) images in 10, 20 or more new tabs
2. Close the newly open tabs
3. Repeat


Actual Results:  
After a while, redrawing of all windows and tabs no longer works. Only the
content of the pages that was displayed can be seen. Sometimes, redrawing behind
the download progress window occurs after this window closes. All Mozilla's
functions still work, but their effects cannot be seen on the screen anymore.

Expected Results:  
Redraw the contents of the tabs and windows.

I observed this on Windows 2000 with Mozilla versions 1.0 through 1.5 included
and also with Firbird versions 0.6 and 0.7. I have an ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra
(AGP 4X, 32 Mb) graphics card and I think I use the latest ATI driver (version
5.13.1.3279, dated 26.09.2001).
