I upgraded the shared pixman and cairo libraries on this computer to 0.21.2 and 1.10.0 respectively. Xorg.0.log indicates pixman 0.21 is in use. Same bad behavior with (or without) joedrew's patches.
The nouveau drivers are the next obvious culprit. They haven't been updated by this distro since 2010-08-25, but I really don't want to go to the trouble of building them myself (I'd have to build my own kernel as well). Mike Hommey should have been cc:ed on this bug a long time ago. My bad. Any comments, Mike? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263661 Title: Black Line appears next to gif and png images Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 A few of my web sites, when viewed after upgrading to firefox-3.0 (on Ubuntu 8.04), display a vertical black line next to some GIF images (created in Gimp). The only time I see this line is next to 1 pixel wide images stretched (used as spacers). I noticed that after stretching past a specific width (different for the each occurrence) a 1 pixel wide black line would appear just next to the GIF. It would appear sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, depending on the stretched width of the image. I was able to remedy this by using 3 shorter width images instead of one long width image, but this is obviously not a real fix. Please note that same sites did not show this black line before upgrading to firefox-3.0. ---- Package details: firefox-3.0: Installed: 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 Candidate: 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 Version table: *** 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Sep 1 09:44:58 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: firefox-3.0 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: firefox-3.0 Uname: Linux 2.6.24-21-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263661/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
