Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 628658

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110125 Firefox/4.0b10pre

The usual tricks to fix blackness  (resizing the window, minimize, scrolling) don't fix this problem, but the proper surrounding areas sometime re-appear if the viewport is scrolled.

Screenshots coming in a moment.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get latest Minefield release
2.Go to Google.ca, switch to Image Search
3.Type something in to search for
4.View result
Actual Results:  
Areas of the window are black and content is not visible, but can be clicked on to navigate.

Hovering over an image creates a grey box of the same size and does not result in the zoomed in image



Expected Results:  
The webpage areas should not be black and the zoom functionality should work properly.

A clean profile with layers.acceleration.disabled = false has the same problem.

I can not create this problem with a clean profile when layers.acceleration.disabled = true

Attachment: Black areas on Google Image Search

Note that the cursor icon shows I can click something, but the link preview is not in the Address bar

Comment 2

[Barry Marshall]

Attachment: Lack of "zoom in" functionality with hovering over an image

Comment 3

[Barry Marshall]

Attachment: Scrolling the viewport also creates some other weird glitches

I've tried a bunch of other Google services and they don't seem to be suffering from this problem.

Comment 4

[Barry Marshall]

Attachment: If I stick to scrolling without mousing over the viewport, sometimes it sorta works

Note the black at the top of the viewport though.

Both Yahoo and Bing's image search results are currently usable.

... which would seem to indicate Bug 625043 being the source.

Comment 7

[Barry Marshall]

Attachment: Google News can also have problems if you mouse around a bit

It seems to alternate if I mouse over the images in Google News.   Sometimes the side panel comes back, but then it goes away again.

Comment 8

[Barry Marshall]

One difference from the Google Image Search is that in the Google News case above I do get the link preview visible in the address bar.

Comment 9

[Joe Drew (not getting mail)]

Will almost certainly be fixed with the fix to bug 628658.

Yep, all is better as of 20110126 Nightly.
