Code snippet:

  c.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";
  c.fillStyle="blue";
  c.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
  c.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-in";
  c.scale(0, 0);
  c.fillStyle = "red";
  c.fillRect(10, 30, 20, 20);

See URL for demo.

The second fillRect() call is made with a scale to 0, 0 and should result in the shape being transformed to a 0-width, 0-height rectangle.  The composite step should then draw a 0, 0 sized rectangle into an infinite large black bitmap (which is a no-op) and then apply the composite operation for destination-in to the whole canvas, clearing it.  I suspect that the draw is being ignored completely since the CTM is not invertible, but that's not a safe optimization when the globalCompositeOperation is destination-in.

Opera 10.62 on my box does clear the entire canvas and I just reviewed a patch to WebKit to do the same (assuming that it doesn't have bugs).

Reproducible: Always

Nice bug :-)

In Firefox, I see a blank canvas, while in Chrome, I see a blue square (from the link). Which is the expected behavior? From the description, I believe FF may have already fixed this.
