There is tearing in the Aquarium WebGL demo.

It has been running like 30 minutes now and it still looks torn.

Weird, I don't get this problem with my NVIDIA card.

Can you go to about:config, enable webgl.verbose, rerun, open the JS error console (ctrl+shift+J) and let me know if there's any WebGL warning there?

These warnings are in the error console:

Warning: Error in parsing value for 'filter'.  Declaration dropped.

(6 of these warnings ^)

(8 of these warnings ^)

No WebGL warnings.

I can confirm this with Seamonkey trunk and an nvidia 310m on win7.
I think It appeared after I installed the latest driver a month ago to stop driver crashes.

Given that this most likely isn't a bug on our part but rather either a driver issue or an issue in this demo, and given that it only results in poor rendering in this demo, I wouldn't block on this.

Comment 5

[JK]

The demo is rendered correctly if webgl.shader_validator is false.

Comment 6

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Oh, then it's an ANGLE bug, and the fact that it renders correctly in Chromium means that it's been fixed in ANGLE and we just need to sync, but for that we are blocked on bug 578880.

Comment 7

[Joe Drew (not getting mail)]

We definitely need to update ANGLE before release.

Comment 8

[JK]

This looks like fixed now. At least it's working for me.

Yep, our ANGLE copy was recently updated. Following comment 8, marking as fixed.
