909136 - daily rendering / redraw of windows not working properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 909128

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[helkav]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130823004003

Steps to reproduce:

TB Daily 26.0a1 (2013-08-25)

view layout in vertical or classic - folders pane on LHS - drag bar to resize pane


Actual results:

windows on RHS don't redraw until TB is resized again e.g. by minimizing and maximizing the whole app

NOTE: I have also tested in safe mode - the issue is still there

I have also tested in Earlybird and the issue is not there either

I am fairly sure this has only started happening with the latest update

has anyone else noticed similar behaviour? anyone have any ideas of the changes in the latest update that might have caused this?

Actually, they may only be related, and possibly not a dupe.

[e-mail] could you please add a screenshot or video showing exactly what your problem is? Thanks!

I am attaching a screenshot

I think it may be a different symptom of the same issue? seems like too much of a coincidence to have suddenly introduced 2 seperate rendering issues. Was your issue just introduced or has it been around for a while?

I am happy to keep it as 1 bug until the fix is made then we can both retest and see if both symptoms have been fixed

Let's keep them separate for now until the patch in bug 909128 lands. If that patch fixes this, then we'll dupe.

Thanks for the screenshot.

Okay,

[e-mail] could you please try the latest Daily version and see if your issue still exists?

Thanks!

just updated to

the issue is resolved, even when I restore the setting for layers.acceleration.disabled

nice one!
