668066 - Oval gray gradient briefly visible when paging to top of webfwd page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Attachment: screencast of bug

STEPS TO REPRO:
 1. Load https://webfwd.org/
 2. Hit PageDown or End key
 3. Hit PageUp or Home key

RESULTS: Some significant fraction of the time, a large black/gray-gradient oval flashes on the website, behind "What is Web Fwd?", for 1 frame, and then disappears.

See attached testcase.

Not sure if it's a website bug or a gecko bug.  Pascal suggested filing a gecko bug, so I'm filing it here for now.

(Pascal: I'm not sure if you directly work on the site, but if not, perhaps you could CC someone who does?  I'm hoping that they might be able to provide a static and/or reduced testcase, so that we can still test this down the road after the website is changed)

Ping me if anyone needs something from me. The website was created by Andy Chung - he's happy to help as well.

New site doesn't show this bug anymore.
