Steps to reproduce:

Middle-click a link to open it in a new background tab.


Actual results:

Occasionally the new tab appears briefly in the tab strip, and is then immediately replaced with graphical corruption. The corruption remains until the tab is repainted by a hover or by switching to it.


Expected results:

The tab should display normally with no visual corruption.

This started occurring after I upgraded from Aurora 17 to Aurora 18. I've seen it happen naturally a few times, but I don't know how to reproduce it consistently.

It feels like it happens more often when opening direct image links to imgur, but that could just be superstition.

There could also be some kind of timing issue or race condition involved, but I can't say for sure.
