1) Open an email with multiple conversations or whatever gmail calls them or just a long enough email that you can scroll downwards 2) Scroll down until the delete button near the top is just below the tab bar (or bookmarks bar)...even better to scroll all the way down to use the bottom delete button 3) click the delete button and observe a black flash across the top portion of the content pane Alternate STR: 1) If you have a lot of emails in the trash so that you can scroll downwards, do so until the inbox link is just below the tab bar (or bookmarks bar). 2) Click the inbox link and observe the black flash as between the previous and next page loads Does not happen with 3.0.1. This is on Vista with and without the JIT stuff enabled and all add-ons disabled. By the way, the blackness is as big as how far down you scroll. So say you scroll down a whole page, when deleteing the email or switching from trash to inbox...the black flash covers the entire non-chrome area of the window. Too fast for me to capture a screenshot of it so if anyone knows of any free software to take short videos, that would be great.

This happens 100% of the time with me using the steps outlined on old slow (P3) laptop. Windows XP (SP3): Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080921033621 Minefield/3.1b1pre ID:20080921033621 Tried capturing it with Camstudio (open-source) but then I couldn't get the black flash to show up in the recording (saw it on screen, but didn't get recorded).

Any way you could review each frame and screenshot that?

I managed to get a shot of this after playing with the framerates. Not exactly pretty, but shows the issue nonetheless.

I can reproduce this by clicking on the More Actions drop down list, but not consistently. Sometimes it's just as I select the drop down, others, after I selected a label and then try to select the drop down again. And usually it will flash twice in a row (i.e. I can select the drop down twice and in both occasions it will flash, but on a third try or further, it doesn't do it again.)

Where can I get some hourly builds for that date so I can narrow it down further? There were way too many checkins that day to even begin to poitn a finger.
Also replying to/forwarding an email where you have scrolled down causes the whole non-chrome area of the screen to flash black.

Flags: blocking1.9.1?
This also happens in Outlook Web Access. The scenario is slightly different. We have a DIV where we will intermittently add elements and remove elements, almost always in the area that is scrolled out of the DIV. The "black flash" seems to affect random areas of the DIV, including the scrollbar.

I don't think this should block 1.9.1; however, adding it to the wanted list (to be triaged for the next release at this point) so we can get to the bottom of this.

WFM now. Even when switching back to gmail's older version. They released another version today with a lot of themes and both the older version and newer version WFM. Can anybody verify this?

It's white instead of black, but still a flash. Step to reproduce it: - wait for the left chat to load - move the mouse over the first chat entry - wait for the chat window to appear - scroll a step down with the mouse wheel - the white flash appears, if not, repeat the previous 2 steps scrolling down then up when you reach the last chat entry.

Still see this on the 20090225 build of 1.9.1. Changing from the 'Minimalist' theme to the default theme fixes the black flash I have been seeing. I can't tell if there is a white flash but if there is it is much less jarring.

Now I see a blue flash. Not sure if this is the same bug because it appears that the blue is from the blue background behind the ad/mail area expanding over the mail area or just the mail area disappearing and the blue background still showing.

I still see this and I see it even more often now. I see this just by clicking the inbox link.

Mats, CCed you due to your work in fixing bug 517772 and hoping you might be able to also figure this one out.

I don't see this on Windows 7. Might be because I don't have Aero on and/or due to not have graphic's drivers.
