306286 - [mac] screen artefacts with cookies dialog and opening link in background

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Gary Elshaw]

Screen artefacts distort upper-left of menu bar when opening a link in the
background with another application and 'ask me every time' cookies enabled.

1. Have 'ask me every time' option checked in cookies (you may need to clean
cookies archive or visit a site never visited)
2. Have 'Open links from other applications in' set for 'a new tab in the most
recent window'
2. Use an RSS reader application with open links in background checked
3. Have a tab open.
4. click link in rss reader or other app.
5. bringing browser to foreground should show screen artefacts.

Reproducible: Not always

What should happen: No screen artefacts

Either this bug is a WONTFIX or a DUPLICATE of some other bug, because I'm pretty sure I'm still seeing this occasionally in Firefox 3, particularly when the computer has been slowed down due to low memory. Also, I'm using an Intel Mac, so marking this as Platform: All.

Please reopen this bug if it appears with a recent version of firefox in a new profile.
