Kyang Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 This is known afaik, but it's not something I can reproduce on my Win7 with RC1. For whatever reason, it's not judged to be a blocker (potentially it needs fairly specific circumstances). Wait, specific circumstances? Like what? It happens on 100% of the time, on a clean install, default with no add-ons. Right?

caerma Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Since this thread seems to reach a lot of users I'll check if anyone of you Firefox fans can reproduce an issue I experience. The decoration gradient on the window border jumps up and down when hovering links as the link target pops up at the bottom left of the browser window. This of course steals focus from the page you are browsing and is rather annoying. This is on a fresh install of the latest Minefield Nightly at the time of posting (2011-03-08) but b12 acts the same. No extensions or themes. Tried toggling hardware acceleration on or off. Reproduced on 2 computers, both Windows 7. Installing Status-4-Evar and moving link target and status to location bar removes issue. Check screendump without and with hover. Same issue, whenever you point a link. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/208/#findComment-593770690 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is even work when you're on custom visual style. I'm using GlowAir right now and it bugs the hell out of me. For those who want to see it clearly, open the bookmark sidebar and hover over your links. Really irritating!

Kirkburn Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Wait, specific circumstances? Like what? It happens on 100% of the time, on a clean install, default with no add-ons. Right? Well, I don't know ... but it evidently doesn't always occur :) I'm not trying to talk down your issue, just saying something specific seems to trigger it, and I'm not sure what. I've just been able to trigger it myself, but I'm not sure what did it. Moving and resizing the window made it happen, then not happen. Stumped, atm.

Doesn't sound like it's going to be fixed until after Firefox 4... so sometime Firefox 5? It's also related to the bug where the Aero borders are too thick I believe, which won't be fixed until Firefox 5. It's weird though... I was having the same issues you were having, I did a clean install of Windows 7, as I screwed up a few system files, and now I can no longer reproduce this issue.

Clean install, fresh profile, no add-ons, portable and non-portable, on two different Windows installs. The amount the gradient jumps seems to depend in part on the website in the browser as it only jumps by a few pixels on some sites. Bugs the hell out of me too.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 9, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2011 I doubt it, because Mozilla have already worked around that problem (they now do font loading manually and lazily) Edit: The bug with the Aero gloss jumping is well known, but it's not important enough to hold the release (It's a 4.x or 4.0.x thing) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/208/#findComment-593771768 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried different settings in Aero but no luck. Glad you found an end to your issues though. I wish I could do the same.

This is something to do with the default theme I think .. I use Nuvola theme and don't see it , if I switch back to the default theme , there it is! , back to Nuvola and it's gone!

grayscale Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I really like what mozilla has done on FF's memory use. 22 tabs for several hours (mostly research so no fancy flash pages) and FF plays around 300-350 MB, and gui is still responding fine (honestly, I don't really care how much memory ff uses, but once it hits 800-900, gui starts to be irresponsive). If added memory means better performance, and as long as UI is still responsive even with higher memory use, then I'm fine with it.
