This is a spin-off from bug 611698 comment 103 per roc.  On some machines
(namely, my own), it appears that the patch for bug 611698
(https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/fbf144260d6c) does not fix the
problem (Flash text rendered with black surface behind, should be transparent).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open http://oscar-raul.superpokepets.com/ (if it is necessary please sign in)
2.Play this game (click on menu, on pet etc.)
3.Observe flash menu and game rendered with a black, non-transparent or normal background
Actual Results:  
Black background in games (see screenshots)

Expected Results:  
Flash rendered normally (see screenshot for Chrome)

I'm running Windows 7 x86 Professional, with OOPP enabled (and if I disable
OOPP, the original bug goes away).

Hmmm, perhaps this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626177  , influence my bug? (TEXT flash rendered is incorrect).

Comment 8

[Raul Nicolae Malea]

Also, please marked this bug for blocked Firefox 4 final.

Comment 9

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

WFM with Flash 10.2 and the fix for bug 626177. Please recheck with the next nightly.

Comment 10

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Oh wait, in some cases it doesn't. Investigating.

Comment 11

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Flash 10.2 has basically the same rendering loop as 10.1 although it's a bit better optimized. Now it doesn't read the entire plugin area back to its private DIB, instead it just reads back the dirty area.

But for some reason 10.2 is giving some areas opaque backgrounds that shouldn't have them. Note for the Superpoke site the "header" Flash object has a black background just where the SuperPoke log is. I can't tell what triggers it.

Note that SIFRs like http://www.foreignaffairs.com/issues/2010/89/6 are working fine with 10.2.

Michelle, can you help? I think we have our async rendering for windowless Flash working with 10.1 now, it's only 10.2 that's causing problems :-(

Comment 12

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Correction, the problem at superpokepets.com does occur with Flash 10.1.

Comment 13

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

smadayag, msintov: let me explain what we're trying to do ... we've been trying to capture Flash output in an RGBA bitmap that we can then render in our GPU-accelerated rendering pipeline. We noticed that if we fill a 32-bit Windows DIB with zeroed alpha values and ask Flash to draw into it, Flash usually fills in the correct alpha values --- at least if we turn off subpixel antialiasing (see bug 611698). But there are some cases where that doesn't work and Flash fills in pixels with alpha 0xFF which should be transparent. This bug identifies Flash objects on superpokepets.com as triggering that, but presumably there are others.

We'd like to know what triggers these bad cases. If we could identify them, we could use a slower path just for them (e.g. "alpha recovery" --- painting twice, once onto a black background and once onto a white background, and computing alpha values). Or if you could fix those case in Flash 10.2, that'd be great too :-).

Happens after hovering the 'vote now' button. The background is not entirely black, is it the same bug?

I think so.

Comment 16

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

This needs an owner, assigning to roc who's looked at this the most. Roc, feel free to reassign if necessary here...

Comment 17

[gadjo]

Isn't it a dupe of bug 626202?

Comment 18

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Definitely not

Comment 19

[Oskar Ivanić (:icecold)]

Is flash issue on http://www.msi.com/ related to this bug?

It's fine when OOPP is disabled.

Comment 20

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Yes.

Bug 626602 fixes the glitches on http://www.nba.com and http://www.msi.com/.  I couldn't figure out what to do with http://oscar-raul.superpokepets.com/, guess I'm too old.

Will be fixed by 626602.

Comment 32

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Can we resolve this now that bug 626602 is fixed?

Comment 33

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

Yep.

Comment 34

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

Disappearing menu is probably a symptom of bug 631388, which should also land soon.  Either way, that sounds like a separate bug.

Comment 35

[Raul Nicolae Malea]

Verified. Black rendered disappeared. But menu not stay fixed, disappearing etc.
