confirmed! windows 7 use hardware acceleration = NO (!) gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode = 2 (!) on gmail.com ClearType lost colors even without scrolling. habrahabr.ru/post/107607/ lost colors only after scrolling.

I first see this in 18.0b4, only with acceleration off. In 19.0b1, only the scrolling issue occurs, I can't reproduce the Gmail non-scrolling issue. 20.0a2 is fine. Problem appears in nightly here: Last good nightly: 2012-12-04 First bad nightly: 2012-12-05 Pushlog: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=6fa6e55a93b2&tochange=1942b4d64dc8 Fixed in nightly here: Last good nightly: 2012-12-11 First bad nightly: 2012-12-12 Pushlog: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=4dfe323a663d&tochange=634180132e68 Anyone able to confirm that regression range?

Bug 828032 appears to be this same bug on OS X.
For pure entertainment value, go to http://caniuse.com/, give the Search field focus, then scroll the page down just enough to hide the search field… and watch the entire page of text toggle between smoothed and not, every half second. Coincides with the blink rate of the insertion point. Didn't know if this would help with diagnostics, but it's just too awesome not to share. (Yes, I'm easily entertained.) Haven't seen this on other pages yet…

I can confirm the patch of Bug 806099 fixes this problem. (I applied the patch(https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/1cc90ffcd6b6) of Bug 806099 to the current 19beta cset 2bb8638b277e, and build in locally)
Depends on: 806099

Matt/Roc - we've seen a lot of duplicates of this bug filed for FF18. The user impact here does not seem severe (and there were no reports pre-release), so we're leaning towards fixing for the first time in FF19. Thoughts on the risk of uplifting bug 806099 to FF18?

The impact may not be severe for the average user or those with certain monitor resolutions, but for those of us doing UI design, it's a bit of a PITA. I for one would love to see this fixed soonest. But I'm not your flavor of developer so I certainly don't know what it will take to nail it. Thanks to all of you for your great work!

It is not zero-risk, although the patch has been on trunk for a while and no regressions have been reported other than one isolated performance issue.
We should definitely uplift 806099 to beta though. Requested approval over there.

Same here.Fonts are very blurry on certain sites (gmail, lequipe.fr) as shown in attachment. Happened since updating to firefox 18. The loss of sharpness is very annoying visually.

Bug 806099 was uplifted to FF19 on Beta. Should be resolved in that version.
Comment 25•11 years ago

Works fine on Firefox 19 beta 4, latest Nightly and Aurora. Can the status be changed to resolved? Or there is something to be added here?

Is it fixed in FF19?

it's fixed
Comment 28•11 years ago

It is not totally fixed. Web pages looks good in FF 19 even after the scrolling; but text inside native widgets does not. If you edit a long text in a field like the one im writing into and then scroll it; the subpixel antialiasing becomes gray after the scroll and after 2 or 3 seconds it automatically gets RGB antialias. The same thing happens when i scroll the most viewed sites window with the awesome bar; 3 seconds delay. If this can help to track the issue, i say that it does NOT happens in the history window. My system is archlinux 32bit and i'm using firefox 19; see the attached video in a large window/fullscreen carefully.

hi, could my problem be related to this bug: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156456 ? It was not present in ff17 but is present in ff18 and is still in ff19. It's really weird...
Comment 30•11 years ago

I'm Confirming this using FF19 Final and FF20b1 But I have found that for now it happens only if HW accel is enabled. Additionally If I Zoom In/Out page (CTRL+Mouse Scroll) page is rendered correctly, looks like only default zoom is affected. For Now I'm turning of HW Accel. Haven't tested nightly for now. As reference to Above archlinux page I'm using ATi HD 4890 and latest ATi Legacy Drivers 13.1
Comment 31•11 years ago

As peke said in comment #30: It's fixed in Firefox 19 (thanks!) but it can still happen when using hardware acceleration. I turned on layers.acceleration.force-enabled today (Firefox 20 / Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit / nvidia 310.14) and started noticing the issue again. I can see it clearly in gmail, and the strange thing is, that it's temporary: font hinting is strange when scrolling, and after you stop, in 2-3 seconds it jumps to being ok. I'm now attempting to record a screencast to show this.
Comment 32•11 years ago

Ah, my bad! No need to screencast, the issue is exactly what kokoko3k said in comment #28, but it doesn't need to be on a native widget (I see it on gmail).

I filed a bugreport for comment #29 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=847962 I don't know, maybe it's related..

@Comment #33: I'm not sure, I just tried to reproduce your issue and couldn't. Have you tried it on another machine, just to be sure?
Comment 35•11 years ago
|

I did, it happens on both of my computers and even on Windows 7 (but isn't always *that* noticible). But maybe we should discuss this in the appropriate bugreport :)
Comment 36•11 years ago

Just note to my comment #30 that after upgrading to ATi Radeon HD 7950 and normal 13.1 driver I have no issues anymore, also FF version now is 19.0.2 will keep if issue reacure

This bug refers to an issue that could only occur *without* hardware acceleration. Hardware acceleration is currently incomplete on linux, and is disabled by default for all users. You're probably seeing bug 777170, which is because the component alpha (sub-pixel alpha text) support isn't completed.

Firefox 48b5 showes the mentioned behaviour again, while it had been fixed before. For me the bug manifests in "strange" antialising appalied to GMail's red "Inbox" text label. On my system I use: AzureCanvasAccelerated 1 AzureCanvasBackend skia AzureContentBackend cairo AzureFallbackCanvasBackend none CairoUseXRender 0
