[Affected versions]: - Nightly 55.0a1 - Build ID: 20170419100228 [Affected platforms]: - Linux [Steps to reproduce]: 1. Launch Firefox with a new profile 2. Open the Add-ons Manager 3. Enable the Compact Dark team 4. Type something in the Search Bar (look at the one-off search buttons) 5. Enable the Default team 6. Double click in the Search Bar (look at the one-offs search buttons) [Expected result]: - In step 6, the second row of the one-off search buttons is properly displayed [Actual result]: - In step 6, the second row of the one-off search buttons is white. Hovering the mouse over the second row repaints it. Please see the screenshot for more details.
Strange...

This sounds like a regression from bug 1312999 rather than bug 1295460.

Seems to be a graphics bug.

That it happens only on Linux, and that the problem fixes itself when hovering a one-off button from the first line (we don't run any relevant JS code when doing that; the hover effect is a CSS :hover).
If we want to workaround, we could just add another observer near http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#1422 to reset the one-off buttons when the theme is changed.
From what I've seen the JS implementing the one-off search button grid hasn't been all too reliable from the start, so I'd bet it's a problem there. Do we change anything on hover that might affect layout, like margins or borders?

I can't reproduce this in my Ubuntu VM. Simona, are you using hardware acceleration? I agree with Florian that this looks like a graphics problem. When I open about:support, under the Graphics section, it says: > Features > Compositing > Basic > Decision Log > HW_COMPOSITING > blocked by default: Acceleration blocked by platform > Decision Log > OPENGL_COMPOSITING > unavailable by default: Hardware compositing is disabled ... which I guess means I'm not using hardware acceleration. Would it be possible for you to find a regression range?

I still think it was a graphics bugs that was hidden by the excessive rebuilding of the one-off buttons before that fix. Do you know who works on fixing Linux graphics bugs? If we need to add a workaround, I proposed one in comment 6, but it would be nice to at least try to have someone look at the actual bug.

This is not about the one-off buttons in the awesomebar.

Milan, can someone confirm whether this is a graphics bug?
Flags: needinfo?(milan)
I guess anything is possible :) I don't really have anybody that'd look into this in the short term. If we know of a workaround, I'd suggest we use it.

Panos, do we know if this is work-around-able?
Flags: needinfo?(past)
We have a suggested workaround in comment 6, just nobody in my team with free cycles yet.

Marking as fix-optional for 55, but if someone wants to get it fixed via comment 6, that's cool too.
Simona, could you please try this build (or the patch I just posted)? It does what Florian suggests in comment 6: rebuild the buttons the next time the popup is opened after a theme change. It'll be interesting to see whether that fixes the problem. https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/try-builds/dwillcoxon@mozilla.com-95c1fc8ce7b449d8dada8c20b46004aad6b1aad1/

I can no longer reproduce the initial issue when using the provided try build on Ubuntu 16.04 x64.

That's strange, I asked try to build on Linux too. Anyway, thanks Florian, glad you found a build and couldn't reproduce the problem anymore, Simona.

Otherwise someone may remove this by accident... or we may forget to remove it once it's no longer relevant (if the graphics bug happens to disappear on its own a year or two from now).
