See trough gap in FF 57 Quantum GUI

Post by avstudio »

Just noticed transparent pixel line or gap just under bookmarks in new FF 57 Quantum.
Can be seen very clearly when using YT in dark mode, you can see your desktop trough that gap.
Very annoying and amateurish bug.

Can you post a screenshot of it? Also, what is "YT in dark mode"? Youtube in dark mode? How did you do that?

Dark mode is feature of "new" YT itself, you can choose that mode in page menu.

Basically i can see my desktop icons trough the thin line just under bookmarks toolbar.
Very disappointing for the hyped new FF.

Or very disappointing for the Youtube code

It is definitely not a YT thing, this GUI BUG is present on every page and on different HW&SW configurations.

Looks like somebody pushed unfinished product to the customer for whatever reasons.

Unfortunately not uncommon practice in SW business.

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3034856

but - we all can all guess something - as i wrote you two should compare your hard- and software.
this GUI BUG is present on every page
at least its a special problem, i dont have a gap or anything like this, never had - on several system.

PS your personal conclusions are BS.

I haven't been able to enable dark mode in Youtube. How did you manage it?

I have a sneaking suspicion this will only happen when hardware acceleration is enabled. Can you reproduce this issue in safe mode?

Here you can see active window on the left and desktop icons on the right showing trough.
Try resizing window and move it around and over desktop icons with this page loaded.

This BUG persists on both of my PC-s and laptop, so as i wrote earlier same bug is present on different SW&HW configurations.
Also i tried disabling hardware acceleration and running FF in safe mode, i also tried using portable FF version.
Bug is always there so i believe it's highly unlikely that it's only my problem, but i guess it's possible.

I still can't reproduce the bug even with resized window hovered over desktop icons.
