Details

* TITLE/SUMMARY
[PP] URL field inherits color of animated GIF when page resized

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Launch Apprunner
1) Go to http://slip/projects/marvin/complex/image_aligned_above_table.html. (If
anyone outside of the firewall needs or wants it, let me know, and I'll strip out
the legal crud and attach it to this bug report.)
2) Resize the browser window to its minimum height, and then return it to a
regular height.

* RESULT
 - What happened

The pixels that comprise border of the URL window inherit a variety of colors
that appear to be those of the animated GIF.

 - What was expected

URL field not to visually corrupt upon a resize.


* REGRESSION

 - Occurs On
        Win32 Apprunner (4.26.99 AM optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 3])

 - Doesn't Occur On (neither allow page to be resized to the point in which the
URL is totally covered)
        Linux Apprunner (4.26.99 PM optimized build)
        Mac OS Apprunner (4.26.99 PM optimized build)


* CONFIGURATIONS TESTED

- [Mac] Power Mac 8500/120 (233 Mhz 604e), 64 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used),
1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.5.1

- [Win32] Vectra VL (233 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP3.

- [Linux] Vectra VL (266 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM.

I see this on the default page, only when resizing by dragging the bottom of
the window (not the grow box).  Any part of the URL bar that is obscured is
repainted with garbage. reassigning to don.

Don, I'm not sure if we are responsible for the *urlbar widget* itself. I think
this s'd go to someone working on the widgets. Reassigning to you to make the
decision.

This doesn't happen on Linux and the page no longer loads and animates correctly
on Windows, so I'm going to push this out a milestone until we can reproduce the
problem again.

Pink, is this your bug?
Assignee: pinkerton → don
why on earth would it be my bug? We're not responsible for text widgets in any
capacity. reassigning back to you gramps.

Peter, do you have any idea who should get this bug?  Is this something for the
ender or maybe gecko folks?
Assignee: trudelle → buster
On closer inspection, the problem appears to be that the border of the text
widget retains pixels from the border of the window drawn by the system during
the resize.  The animated gifs are a red herring, this happens with any page. It
probably only happens on Windows (I used Win98) because the other platforms
don't draw the content during a resize. It isn't limited to the URL bar, but
also occurs in the Ender widget in the Address Book toolbar. Could be Gecko, but
I'm reassigning to buster for further triage. This should really be minor or
trivial severity.
Summary: [PP] URL location field border has random colors when page resized → [PP] [GFX Text Control] URL location field border has random colors when page resized
problem is the view system is reserving space for non-existent scroll bars, and
garbage gets painted into that reserved space.  known problem, probably a dup of
a bug patrick has. cc'ing beard, take it and dup it away if you're the one
looking into it.

Verified duplicate. (actually confirmed that this issue no longer occurs. Now,
the entire URL bar's contents become corrupted. I'm pretty sure that's covered in
another bug, as it's very reproducible.)
