998542 - Regression from bug 610545 - arrow panels not working on Linux

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 994562

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, defect)

Description

[Stephen Moehle]

Arrow panels (toolbar bookmark menu and downloads button list) do not show up when clicking on the associated button on the toolbar. The downloads list never shows, but the bookmark menu might show up once or twice at most and then never again. There is some flickering when clicking on the buttons.

Mozregression tells me that this is a regression caused by bug 610545:

And it was around the 9th that I first noticed this problem.

This is happening on Fedora 20, 64-bit.

Panels are not working for me on Linux.  I had a couple of days where the new animating panels were working for me, but now they don't; so not sure if this is exactly the OP's problem.  When I click say the Downloads toolbar button, I get a quick flicker of the panel and then it remains hidden.

My mozregression run gave me this:

though I am pretty sure that I was running a nightly build at one point where the panels were working correctly.

Looks like a dup of bug 994562. Try running xcompmgr or another X compositor before starting Firefox to confirm dup.
