911279 - Narrow drop-down lists rendered garbled when direct2d is off on Radeon 4000 series

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Michael Hohner]

Attachment: drop-down-direct2d-off.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130814063812

Steps to reproduce:

I disabled direct2d to work around bug 812695, and now narrow drop-down lists are rendered as "pixel-trash". When the drop-down list is wider (options with more than 3 or 4 characters), it looks normal.

Could you include a testcase html and the graphics section of about:support?

Test case

Comment 3

[Michael Hohner]

        gfx.direct2d.disabled
        true

        gfx.direct3d.last_used_feature_level_idx
        0

Hope that's what you need.

Comment 4

[Timothy Nikkel (:tnikkel)]

There's nothing else in the graphics section besides those two things?

Comment 5

[Michael Hohner]

Everything else in gfx has default values.

It would be good to know how widespread this is, does it depend on the graphics card or anyone who disables d2d sees this for examples. Also useful to know if this is a regression or not.

STR:
set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true.
load the html testcase in this bug.
open the dropdown.
the dropdown should look normal, not like garbage.

We don`t have a Radeon HD 4000 Series, so I tried with what we have in the lab. Can not reproduce with two Windows 7 machines:

You definitely need Radeon HD 4000 Series to reproduce this bug.

Yeah. I have HD 4870 on Windows 7, and the bug can be reproduced reliably.

[Mihai Morar, (:MihaiMorar)]

Not able to reproduce using Intel HD 2500 Series. Based on Comment 9 it is definitely a Radeon issue.

Comment 12

[Gregory Pappas [:gregp]]

Reporter, are you still experiencing this issue?

Comment 13

[Michael Hohner]

The hardware has changed twice in the 10 years of this issue, so, no, I'm no longer experiencing this.

Comment 14

[Gregory Pappas [:gregp]]

Thanks for confirming!
