935667 - Canvas/GUI stops updating until mouse is moved over document window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[jerryj]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130910160258

Steps to reproduce:

1. copy "http://www.duckware.com/test/chrome/jerky.html" into the clipboard
2. Launch FF
3. position mouse cursor over URL, click and paste (ctrl-v) in url; press enter (usually all within 2 seconds or less from starting FF; the fast the better for some reason)
4. animation may run just fine



Actual results:

5. about 50% of the time, the animation halts, UNTIL you move the mouse over the main window, and then all of a sudden the animation starts up, but not from where it left off, but from where it should have been (so it is continuing to run in the background, but not updating the screen).


Expected results:

no halts.
