[opensuse-factory] Firefox 56 vs XFCE
Dear openSUSE Tumbleweed users, I know, many of you are eagerly awaiting Firefox 56 on Tumbleweed - I know, because I am too We are getting close: FF 56 has actually been submitted and has been merged into 'The Factory' - But openQA detected some anomalies when FF is being run on top of XFCE (not sure if other DEs are affected, we test GNOME, KDE, LXDE and XFCE in openQA - XFCE is the only one showing this) The result looks something like this: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/502217#step/firefox/12 As you see, the about window is simply blank. One can argue that the about window is not 'business critical' (and I agree) - but I have absolutely no idea how well FF will behave for normal browsing there. The issue was neither observed on GNOME, KDE nor LXDE, where this is also tested. So, if you are an XFCE user, please keep your eyes open for anomalies like this and help collect information in the bug I opened for it already: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1062535 Cheers, Dominique

Might be related with composite mode? I'm using compton on top of XFCE instead of its native compositor, and the about window of FF 56 appears fine on my machine.

I honestly would not know - we test the live cd for example, taking the settings as proposed by the XFCE maintainers You can grab the current image that is being tested from https://openqa .opensuse.org/tests/502217 - assets tab (that's the next live image to be published, should we accept this issue) It can also be an interaction between qemu/xfce/ff - just to make things funnier Cheers Dominique

At least it's also not happening on my native 42.3 Xfce + FF 56 system. Any hint would be nice. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I tested FF56 with TW on a freshly installed KVM, and it seems working, too. Tested on both cirrus and bochsdrm. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

FWIW, I see the black box inside my kvm VM for about 50 ms and it renders correctly afterwards. So it kind of blinks. It happens only once after each echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches Isn't it the case too -- slow HDD in a VM? thanks, -- js suse labs

Noteworthy -- it happens much more often with 56 than with esr 52.3. And it happens in icewm too. thanks, -- js suse labs
