The Official Win32 20100814 Trunk build is out.

[a;skdjfajf;ak]

Also nightly testers:
Someone with a nightly build that has d2d enabled by default - test and see if setting the widget.rendering pref to '0' turns it off . - the devs are aware that you can't turn off DW, but d2d should turn off by setting it to '0' - once its enabled by 'default' the setting will be -1 for widget.rendering - the '6' we have been using is to 'force' d2d 'on' only for testing...

The gfx folks are having a small conference call at this time trying to decide to turn it back on - they need testers and bugs filed.

EDIT: When testing be sure to either use a clean profile - or at least don't use Adblock or Noscript as it could over-ride any testing.

If you change it to 8 it will turn it off but leave the fonts on.

Directwrite has its own perf, you don't need to rouch the render-mode perf for that at all.

Anyone aware of bug numbers for bad-scrolling with d2d enabled ? Devs are asking on IRC ..

I remember there being one some time ago but it was supposedly fixed. Maybe be worth filling a new one.

There a couple, check my reply over in the dw/d2d thread.

I only see this on websites that use flash (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558339). There's also one retained layers related problem where web content is drawn on top of plugin content (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579262#c29). Apart from that my only problem with D2D is slow cold startup time, though for some reason warm startup is fine, maybe a Windows issue?

I found a JS engine problem in 20100814 nightly, try the following code in Error Console:

Code: Select all

")".replace(")","*$&*");

The result should be:

Code: Select all

*)*

But, it reports:

Code: Select all

Error: unmatched ) in regular expression
Source File: javascript:%20")".replace(")","*$&*")
Line: 1

Directwrite has its own perf, you don't need to rouch the render-mode perf for that at all.

But changing the same thing to (-1) does.

Is it really a real world test in that case?

You can turn render-mode to -1 and enable directwrite and directwrite will still work.

Since a couple of builds I've trouble with loading some pages, like [url=nu.nl[/url]
I get this error

301: This object has moved

Please click here to continue

The problem is: I need to typ www.... before the url, but in previous builds it wasn't necessary

sorry for my bad English

This is an issue with Adblock Plus. Disable and the problem goes away. Or use this temporary fix:

Hey guys I'm having this issue: everything on every page that's within a specific region lose their hover state... or it's like there's an invisible layer on top of them. Cursor position can't be detected either, try the test below. Clicking within the region works though.

Test: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1025551/test.html

Anyone else experiencing this? (Tested in safe mode, still there.)

Tab Sets needs to handle 'Undo Closed Tabs better than it currently does. Right now when you undo the closing of a tab the tab is hidden behind the Tab Set it was part of.

Either the Tab is put back into the group it came from (the proper solution) or it should at least be put somewhere where it can be seen.

There is already a bug on that as far as I remember.

Yea just found the bug for it.

Directwrite has its own perf, you don't need to touch the render-mode perf for that at all.

But changing the same thing to (-1) does.

In case you all missed it in the d2d thread - with the current nightly you can't disable DW (directwrite):
