When quitting quakelive, aero glass no longer works on the browser, firefox button is gone and text (in the titlebar) sometimes appears weird too. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Register on quakelive.com and download the plugin
2.Play a game and then quit
Actual Results:  
Aero glass was broken and firefox button was gone.

Expected Results:  
Theme and titlebar should behave normally.

Its not always reproducible for some reason, but it happens most of the time. Not sure if this is a regression from drawing in the titlebar for windows. The minimize/resize/close buttons stop working when this happens as well.

Were you using D2D/DW also?  I see this occasionally, but not necessarily with a particular website, but it switches down.  Typically desktop composition is disabled is what seems to be happening.

It might be that letting windows 7 manage visual performance settings itself does it.

Happens with d2d/dw off as well, and I'm not sure windows 7 would need to do that (or even if I have that option enabled, I've been using win7 for like 1 month at most so I'm still quite unfamiliar with the options) since I have a fairly decent PC (c2d e8400@3ghz, 2gb ram, nvidia 9800gt gpu) and quakelive isnt that hardware demanding.

This happens with some Flash apps too. Basically, if the Flash hangs a bit, aero is disabled. This is bothersome, so I just disable **** Flash. Of course, that's not an option for most users.

I can confirm I also see it happen with WMP plugin using TV-Fox extension, sometimes it disables aero glass.

Ok so it seems other people experience the same problem but only with other plugins, so I disabled OOPP and now I cant reproduce the bug, can anyone confirm this?

Comment 8

[Tiago Sá]

I can confirm that if I disable Flash I can't reproduce the problems, that's what I can confirm.

I can also confirm that if I disable Firefox, I can't reproduce them either.

Comment 9

[Tiago Sá]

The Quake plugin isn't out of process, by the way.

Comment 10

[Matheus Kerschbaum]

It isnt out-of-process in the 3.6.x branch, but any plugin is out-of-process in current minefield.

Possibly bug 576168? I think the Quake Live thing with the tabs bar might be  different.

Woops, bug 545892 - "[OOPP] Plugins kill aero glass / browser window sometimes looses aero glass effect."

Looks like it is the same bug indeed, should I mark this as duplicate?

Looks like a dupe to me, yes, I would mark it dupe.

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

Dupes of bug 545892 - "OOPP kills aero", and potentially "plugin shows up in glass" clipping problem we have (bug 574957).
