Attachment: test case

This test case was submitted to me by a user. It's trying to print a string to a canvas. Only one character of the string appears on Firefox, but the whole string appears on Chrome and Opera (I can't test Safari or IE right now).

The use-case behind this test is, the web app is displaying a live feed from an external data source onto a canvas. On Firefox, some of the strings aren't appearing.

Seeing this on Mac, for sure.  

We get a bunch of calls to nsCanvasBidiProcessor::DrawText but only the first run seems to be showing up?

Sure seems similar.  Let's mark it dependent for now.
