554770 - (Aero Glass) Content area shows remnants of Glass post toolbar hide/show actions

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

[ronin.achilles]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5

Enabling or disabling a toolbar (or momentarily showing the Menu Bar/ Find Bar) leaves remnants of Glass on the Firefox content area.

Steps to reproduce (With Aero Glass Enabled):
- Press 'Alt' to show the Menubar momentarily
- Leave 'Alt' so that the toolbars go into their original position
- Look at the area just below Navigator-Toolbox... it has remnants from the
Glassy era :)... with the same thickness as the Menubar.

Same behavior is seen when showing the Find Bar and hiding it - you can see the glass remnants in the area where Find Bar was earlier shown.


Reproducible: Always

I cannot reproduce this on trunk or in Firefox 3.6. I don't have 3.5 handy to test.

Lies. I can see this with the glass patch from bug 546259 applied if and only if I use the find bar.

I tested this on trunk... the 3.5 indicator is just a user-agent string I use.

Reproduced and have involved steps to reproduced here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=434861


Some steps:
CTRL+F5 , CLOSE FIND BAR , RESIZE WINDOW AND OBSERVE BOTTOM OF PAGE
OR
HIDE MENUBAR AND THEN PREVIEW IT AND OBSERVE TOP OF PAGE

This is making browsing experience too buggy

I can reproduce with a nightly and the find bar. There's a white band where the find bar used to be. Resizing the window in and then back out causes the band to grow.

By fixing of the bug 450767, now Firefox excludes the area of the largest content area for aero glass.
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/20f6578db03c
The function seems not working well about dynamic changes (by resizing windows, show/hide UI elements, and others.)

It worked in my little testcase attached to that bug. I don't know what the important difference with that and the main firefox window is but now that there's a patch to enable glass on the firefox ui, I can try to debug it.

The sidebar bug is filed as bug 555182 and I have a fix on the way.

> Dunno why its so tough, just install glasser etc lol

Glasser uses a custom dll for which the source is not provided and so I do not know how well it handles certain events (ex: theme changing). Furthermore, based on the JavaScript, it does not have a compatible license.

Its getting worse day by day
Now if u make window size normal from maximized , whole window gets Aeroed!

Steps: 
1)Open Firefox in maximized mode
2)Open http://www.blackle.com/
3)Make browser size to normal by clicking caption button or dragging the window(in win7)
4)Observe

What you get is like the added attachment provided that u dont hove mouse on nav,bookmarks,menu bar. If it becomes black , view menu bar (hidden first)

Please remove Resolved thing now , its not fixed yet and cant be pushed to Alpha 4 candidates
