Attachment: Broken google.ca rendering on top of about:home

On latest 11a1 nightly, see attachment for the behaviour of my browser when I try to navigate from about:home to google.ca

There might be multiple bugs here:

 - Most importantly, google.ca isn't painting properly (though you can see its input box painted over top of about:home content)
 - The content area is also less than the height of the screen, and in some cases it is also clipping the content -- I suspect there's already another bug on file for that piece (but if there isn't, let me know!)

I think this is a recent regression, I don't remember seeing it last week, after pcwalton's stuff originally landed.

I doubt the bug is google specific, but it isn't universal, either - navigating from about:home (or this busted state) to a longer page talking about making a proper Negroni is fine.

I've hit this as well. Any tips on how to take screen shots on Google Nexus S? I don't want to have to root it.

For the record here are the steps I gathered:
* Loading up google.com after "about:home" half draws google.com and I can half see the nightly start page
* re-loading the page does not fix the issue
* If I quit Fennec and I open it up google.com will be the first page to load up *but* it only drew the search textbox and called the keyboard to load-up
* searching for a term seems to do the search but I can only see the textbox with what I typed and another text box at the bottom of the page

Armen, you can take screenshots using the Android SDK; you don't have to root the device.  The other way is to upgrade to ICS if that is an available option for you.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

The android sdk will install the ddms, in which you can select a device and then take a screenshot

I believe this has been fixed for some time (union dirty rects problem). If seen again please reopen.
