STR: 1. Load http://thenextweb.com/apple/2015/08/21/swatch-has-trademarked-apples-iconic-one-more-thing-catchphrase-in-an-epic-troll-move/ 2. Use OS X's CTRL+mousewheel to zoooooooom in on the words "Most popular" in the sidebar column. RESULT: "Most popular" looks a little blocky and is antialiased using only black and gray colors. With APZ disabled, "Most popular" looks smoother and is antialiased using red and blue colors. Please see the attached screenshots. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?fromchange=6ad92b48085b&tochange=cfc312d8ef20

Without APZ, antialiasing uses red and blue colors. :)

With APZ, antiliasing only uses black and gray. :(

Markus, this might be a dupe of bug 1122916 (and consequently, might be fixed by bug 1147673)
Yes, I'm 99% sure it's a dupe of that bug.
OK, let's dupe it for now and un-dupe later if it turns out not to be.
