Two solutions are to build firefox with "-system-cairo" or to build cairo with "-xlib-xcb" Thanks for the info. I compiled cairo with "-xlib-xcb" and now it works without a problem. This useflag dependencies should be added to firefox to fix this problem for all users. I was researching this bug to find the issue, and I noticed that my window manager of choice seemed to affect whether this occurred in Firefox 42. As a quick poll, what window manager where you using when you noticed this? And if the window manager allowed it, was compositing enabled, and using what rendering technology (XRender or OpenGL)? Has already been addressed the fix will move to tree tomorrow afternoon. |
