747664 - Shaking 3D transitions on Ubuntu and Windows

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[Louis-Rémi BABE]

3D transitions sometime appear to be shaking.

Example: The "Turn" transition on this devderby demo: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/3d-image-transitions/launch
The page that is being rotated shakes and a thin strip of the previous page appears in the middle of the page intermittently. This is not a perf. problem but a rendering problem.

I've tested this page on two machines, one with Mac + WinXP in Virtualbox, and one with Ubuntu + WinXP in Virtualbox. The four OSes had the latest nightly installed. The problem appeared on Ubuntu and WinXP (both computers) and can be seen on this video: http://youtu.be/tUK4Phk2yv0

I see similar looking artifacts playing the game http://moztw.org/foxmosa/game/pairs/ which also uses a turn effect.

I can reproduce the problem if disable HWA.

Hi Louis,

I have tried to test this issue with the URL provided from comment 0, but I did not find the 3D transitions like in posted video. I think this page had some changes since then. I have also tested with the URL provided in comment 1, but I could not reproduce it, the cards are turned properly without any shaking. I have also tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with the same results.
Can you please provide another link to try to reproduce this issue?

Also, is this still reproducible on your end ? If yes, can you please retest this using latest FF release and latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and report back the results ? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/PNe90E). 

Thanks,
Cosmin.
