I can't reproduce it on 64-bit Windows 7 with Intel GMA 4500M HD.

I talked too fast. Clicking the Firefox button is enough to reproduce it.

The funny fact is if you switch to another application window then you come back to Nightly, the rendering is back to normal.

[aja+bugzilla]

For me, minimizing/restoring also returns UI font to normal rendering.

Comment 8

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

BTW thanks Alice for being amazing as usual

Comment 9

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

Found the problem. Creating a patch.

Comment 10

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

This is odd, our canvas tests on Aurora caught this issue without a problem. Our tests on m-c don't seem to have caught it, which is why Try didn't show it. I wonder why.

Comment 11

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

Attachment: Push clip layers to the correct render target.

Let's get this fixed before it goes to Aurora. Then I'll investigate why test_canvas didn't catch this.

Is it possible to get a respin for this? It's a pretty nasty issue and installing a hourly would mess up the update channel setting.

Comment 16

[randyzie]

I'd also love for a respin

Comment 18

[Scoobidiver (away)]

It should be uplifted to Aurora ASAP.

I thought Ed got this into m-c before the merge? Was he too late?

Comment 20

[Leman Bennett [Omega]]

Yes, about 18 minutes too late according to the pushlogs.

I meant Aurora 17 because of the uplift of bug 784382.

You could just disable hardware acceleration until you update to tomorrow's nightly.

Comment 23

[Scoobidiver (away)]

There will be a bunch of filed bugs (already 3 dupes for one day in Trunk!) if it doesn't land before 17.0b1.

Looks like it was already a part of https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-aurora/rev/b13f3bd4de37 from bug 784382.

No graphical problems/glitches when switching tabs/windows in 17.0 beta 2 on Windows 7. Also tried with Hardware acceleration on/off.

Same result for 18 b1. Tried HWA on/off with tab/window switching.
