417300 - Force Quiet and kill brings weird graphic disturbance on all X screens

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrej Schoeke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: F

When Firefox crashes and a kill -s 9 or -s 15 or a Force Quiet from the Ubuntu System Manager brings up a small random graphic disturbance on all X screens in the same position. The size and color varies. 

If Force Quitted, the spot is larger and often of bluish-grey color. If killall is used, the graphic remainder is more colorful and has a size of approx. 15x10 pix. 

I will link some pics soon.

There is no special act I do before hand, but it does not aalways happen. But it happens more with Force Quiet then with killall or kill.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Force Quiet Firefox
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Graphic remainder appears.

Expected Results:  
No graphic remainder ;)

The User Agent tag is wrong! Do not use it!

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
