891542 - crash in mozilla::gfx::DrawTargetDual::DrawTargetDual with NVIDIA GPUs

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[manny123]

Attachment: Screenshot before and after

On codecademy.com (in this case: http://www.codecademy.com/courses/javascript-lesson-n1woS/1/2) I enter the correct code (for the given link "var date = "2013-03-16";
var converted_date = date.split("-").reverse().join("/");") and click "Save & Submit Code" and then by clicking "Start Next Lesson", the browser window gets black for a moment and then my firefox interface and the codecademy page has some graphical issues. I attached a screenshot (look at the tabs background and the white/then black bar on the left. Also every button in the add-ons tab is flat and has no gradient anymore and other issues happen, for example some menus wont open).

Sometimes Firefox crashes:

https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/52b6e8ac-7d7f-41df-8d08-ff5702130709

I already deactivated all of my add-ons and plug-ins, it still happens reproducibly.

Some weeks ago I had the same issue on http://milkmusket.net/design/ just by opening it, but unfortunately this subpage is not there anymore.

While testing this issue I suddenly had two crashes on the outlook site (mail.live.com). The crash repost have a different signature, but I somehow think its the same issue.

https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/2ab55336-e735-4160-b7dd-d16802130709

An obvious similarity of this three websites is that each of them is very dynamic and heavily uses javascript for animations, changes on the site etc.

Do you have reliable steps to reproduce?

It's normal because it's caused by HW acceleration.

I have, on my PC. I just had the opportunity to try it on another PC with a fresh installed Windows, but the issue doesn't show up there.
Steps:
Go to http://www.codecademy.com/courses/javascript-lesson-n1woS/1/1
Replace the code in the console with
  var date = "2013-03-16";
  var converted_date = date.split("-").reverse().join("/");
Click Save & Submit and then Start Next Lesson

It's an issue specific to NVIDIA GPUs when HW acceleration is turned on so I can't reproduce.
Let's assume your STR are reliable.

FWIW Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 ID:20140109030203 CSet: 711f08b0aa1d crashed like bp-bdc3be27-9e6b-4324-a05f-675722140109 when I tried to switch to a GOOG Maps tab.

Don't know if related but earlier on the session the Nvidia driver had recovered from some sort of crash.

There's also bp-5f22a8b7-2325-41f4-87db-fb1372140109 that happened shortly after.

I'll try to reproduce the steps on the description and see if it crashes.

I can reproduce this crash (https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bd05cca6-3c2f-4708-9aad-ca62d2140221) w/ the latest 64-bit Nightly (Built from https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/660b62608951) on Windows 8.1. I am running a GTX 570 w/ the latest WHQL Drivers v334.89. All I have to do is go into EVGA Precision, click on Voltage to open the EVGA Voltage Tuner and then click K-BOOST. The screen will go black and then Nightly will have crashed by the time the screen comes back on. If someone would like a WinDBG log, I can probably come up with one.

There are no reports of this crash beyond Firefox 33. Please reopen this bug if you can still reproduce it.
