757327 - Text sometimes doesn't get drawn properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 748509

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: Text rendering problem in Daphne Oram article

Web page or screen you were on when you saw the issue: Various, including http://boingboing.net/2012/01/04/electronic-pioneer-daphne-oram.html and http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/05/15/straight-white-male-the-lowest-difficulty-setting-there-is/.

Intermittently, but quite often, a section of text in a web page text isn't getting rendered properly. I've attached a couple of screenshots. Reloading the page fixes the problem. Sorry I can't offer you as more helpful bug report, but it happens often enough to seem worth reporting...

This is expected however should go away. Was that the case?

No. I know what you mean: quite often text appears like that initially, but then gets properly updated. But sometimes that doesn't seem to happen, it just stays in this fuzzy state.

I'll go on trying to reproduce it and see if I can get any more helpful information.

This may have been fixed by bug 748509.

Will, can you retry this on Nightly, or test again on with another Firefox Beta update (going out in a few hours)?

Sure, I'll try again today. I reproduced it a few times in about 1/2 hour of testing on http://crookedtimber.org/ yesterday. It sounds like bug 748509 might be it.

It looks good! The problem reported in bug 748509 fits with what I was seeing, and I have not been able to repro it with 14.0a2(2012-05-25).

Marking as a duplicate then.
