263396 - Plugin EMBED does not get repainted in Firefox (but does in Mozilla)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael (GoodWill)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040813
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040813

I found this to be true with regards to the Neptune Plugin in Firefox. Mozilla
Does not experience that problem.
Version tried on:
OS: Windows
Firefox: 0.10PR, 0.9.3, nightly from 100704 - Does not work
Mozilla Suite: 1.8rc3 (20040813) - Works



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the neptune plugin from http://www.meadroid.com/neptune/download/
It requires a registration, so I suggest you use http://www.mailinator.net
or alternatively from
http://colormar.no-ip.com/freew/Internet%20Client%20&%20Utils/MeadCo_Neptune.exe
2. Installation instructions fro firefox/mozilla are found on the download page
Easy install: MeadCo_Neptune.exe is a zip file, extract npmeadax.dll and place
it in Firefox plugin directory
3. RestartFirefox. Make sure your IE preferences are set to decent security
4. Open http://www.meadroid.com/neptune/sample.htm (harmless sample page)
5. Try clicking, scrolling, resizing.

Actual Results:  
The embedded object does nto repaint when you click, resize, scroll.
It works fine on Mozilla Suite, so this seems to be firefox problem.

Expected Results:  
Display the page properly and repain when events(click, resize, etc) occur.

This in fact seems to be a greater problem with the EMBED object. So I set it as
major priority.

After some research:
Thru tracing down mozilla trunk nightlies I can confirm this:
The fix for this is applied in mozilla trunk sometime is 2004-07-26-09 and
2004-07-30-10. So this bugs effectively a duplicate of some fix. Will report
which when I find.

ok to mark as duplicate.

Here are the plugin bugs resolved in that timeframe
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Browser&component=Plug-ins&chfieldfrom=2004-07-25&chfieldto=2004-07-31&chfield=resolution

Of that set only bug 253570 was fixed, but it was checked into the aviary branch
at the same time

The painting issue is a little odd; if I resize or scroll Firefox's window, the
plugin paints into the area fine. Scrolling the webpage in the plugin also works
fine. However, as soon as I simply click the text of the embeded webpage, all of
a sudden I can only see the outter webpage! It's just gone. It does then paint
areas as I mouse over, or scroll FF's window.

The prime suspect here is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252067
(on bz opinion)
I am working to see if it is.

[Michael (GoodWill)]

bug 252067 is no longer a suspect

In Mozilla Suite it gets fixed by patch in bug 253391.
I spoke with Aaron Leventhal an he says this fix is not not for Aviary branch
becaus is based on a lot of other work. I guess those shoudl have been mentioned
as depeds :)

I am gonna test it on other plugins because if its a problem there this could be
a blocker.
