355745 - Corruption when scrolling faster than page can be redrawn

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Søren Sandmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060808 Fedora/1.5.0.6-3 Epiphany/2.14 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060808 Fedora/1.5.0.6-3 Epiphany/2.14 Firefox/1.5.0.6

Steps to reproduce:

- load the glib API URL 
- scroll down some
- log in from another computer
- attach gdb to firefox
- while firefox is stopped due to gdb, press up arrow some 30 times
- 'continue' in gdb

This produces a corrupt display.

This bug is also reproducable for me when running firefox under compiz. In that case it is sufficient to just hold down the up-arrow; no gdb is necessary.


Reproducible: Always

Looks like a duplicate of bug 263686 and/or bug 282109.

Do you still see this problem using Firefox 3.5?  Please update the bug, and close/alter bug if appropriate.

No reply, INCO. Please reopen if you are seeing this in Firefox 3.5.2 or later in Firefox safe mode and a new profile with the latest plugins.
