Current WR compositor usage caused a lot of reftest failures that did not happen in Comment 5 :(

AFAICT this didn't make 73.

Target Milestone: mozilla73 → mozilla74

I have the dev version 75.0b11 installed. The about:support page indicates the following:
WEBRENDER_COMPOSITOR: blacklisted by runtime: Blacklisted

Why?! O__O In previous beta versions, everything was fine!!!
My graphics card is AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH.

We're currently blocking DirectComposition in late beta and release on AMD hardware to minimize risk. We'll eventually turn it on AMD hardware.

You'll get DirectComposition again once beta switches to 76 or you could switch to using Nightly.

Okay! I will look forward to the 76th version πŸ™‚ DirectComposition works on my graphics card (AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH) without any problems πŸ‘

DirectComposition worked in version 76.0b5 πŸ‘Œ Today updated to version 76.0b6. DirectComposition does not work again 😫 The about:support page indicates the following: https://imgur.com/eIPN2no

That's bug 1631312.

(In reply to Jan Andre Ikenmeyer [:darkspirit] from comment #16)

That's bug 1631312.

So this is a bug? 🀨 Is it already fixed?

Yes. The "Tracking" section of bug 1631312 is expanded by default: It tells that this has been fixed in Nightly 77 (2 hours ago: bug 1631312 comment 4) and awaits a patch uplift to Beta 76 (affected + tracking requested). The "References" section tells that this was caused by bug 1630629 yesterday. The fix of bug 1630629 had not been verified in Nightly (bug 1630629 comment 5), so it was merged untested into Beta.

Today, Firefox has been updated to version 76.0b7. The bug is still present πŸ˜•

I'm pretty sure comment #16 is unrelated and comment #13 explains this. It'll be turned on on early beta (betas 1-5) each cycle and turned off in late beta (beta 6 and later) to be closer to what we release -- until there's a decision to release with it enabled on AMD hardware. Until that happens, if you want this enabled, we suggest you use nightly (as per comment #13).

Jeff, is there a separate bug on file on directcomposition enabling by default on release / late beta for AMD hardware users that people can follow?

5silentrain, out of interest, is there a particular reason why you need directcomposition to be enabled? What breaks or works poorly without it?

The problem I described here appears: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1591218
With DirectComposition enabled, everything starts working perfectly!

You can open any video on YouTube in full screen mode and start pressing the Win key on the keyboard many times. If DirectComposition is disabled, this will lead to strong jerking of the video. At least this applies to my computer.

Also, the problem goes away if I force disable "WebRender" on the about:config page (the parameter "gfx.webrender.force-disabled"). In "Direct3D 11 (Advanced Layers)" mode, everything works fine πŸ‘Œ

This should get better with bug 1632239 which is landing now.
