Title:
[regression] [nvidia] firefox tab corruption in fullscreen window
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The content of new tabs in Firefox is sometimes corrupt - the content
is not drawn in the correct location or it's shifted/wrapped around in
the current window. There can also be visual artifacts such as
'static' in certain parts of the window.
I use fullscreen windows almost exclusively, and I've seen the problem
twice today when opening documents in a new tab in a fullscreen
window. I don't know if the problem affects windows that are not
fullscreen windows.
This is a recent regression; it started around the time I upgraded
from unity 6.4.0-0ubuntu4 to unity 6.4.0-0ubuntu6.
See the attached screenshot for an example. I've blurred or redacted
parts of the window. The multicolored static at the bottom right is
part of the image, not something I've added. The big black rectangle
is content I've redacted.
Things to note in the screenshot:
* There appear to be 5 distinct panes: left side, right side top, 'static', center bottom, right side bottom. Each contains different parts of the browser window.
* Content in the bottom-right of the window is scaled down a lot compared to the rest of the content
* Content in the bottom right pane might be from another tab - note that it's a Google Doc that includes the text, "All changes saved" in tiny letters. The content of the main tab is another Google Doc, which has different text in the same position: "Last edit was made <redacted>"
When the FF window is in this state, a workaround is to take the
window out of fullscreen mode; it redraws properly. The windows stays
drawn properly if you make it fullscreen again.
To reproduce:
1) Open a new tab
Expected results:
New tab is drawn properly
Actual results:
New tab is not drawn properly; it may be shifted/wrapped around the screen, and may have other visual artifacts.
