940221 - [Linux] Azure/Skia content rendering has floating window glitches

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Jan Alexander Steffens [:heftig]]

When gfx.content.azure.backends is set to "skia":
- Tooltips are invisible, showing only the shadow
- The autoscroll popup is invisible
- Popup menus have a black background

In the case of the autoscroll popup: It seems that the window content is a copy of the background when it is created, so it appears invisible. If the background behind the window changes (e.g. due to scrolling), the window still shows the old content. Possibly the same happens with tooltips - I didn't test.

When gfx.content.azure.backends is set to "skia,cairo":
- Tooltips have a black background
- Popup menus have a black background

The tooltip and "black background" problems have gone away in Nightly now -  The autoscroll popup issue in the "skia" case remains.

Well, this has long been resolved, but skia rendering has become so glitchy in general as to be unusable.
