Margaret, thoughts?

Maybe there's some event causing the PopupWindow to dismiss itself, similar to what would happen if you tapped outside of it. However, I'm not sure how that would behave differently on ARMv6 vs ARMv7.

I'm also adding Chris, in case he has any ideas.

I don't think this is different between ARMv6 and ARMv7. I was able to see similar behaviour on my GN, it's just harder to reproduce. At one point I clicked on the "next" button and the page went fuzzy (like low-res) and there was no text highlighted. I assume the next match was off-screen and the layout/graphics stack did the right thing but for some reason our viewport didn't move. The way it happens sporadically makes it seem like there's a race condition between two paths updating the viewport that gets hit once in a while.

Wouldn't have anything to do with CPU-instruction set

I'm still able to reproduce this on ARMv6 (LG Slider-Android 2.3.4) on Firefox for Android 21 beta 3 (2013-04-17)

Closing since this seems to be ARMv6 only and we no long make those builds
