Package: libcairo2 Version: 1.12.0-2 Severity: important Justification: iceweasel becomes unusably unresponsive on some webpages
With libcairo2 in sid (1.12.0-2) webpages rendered in iceweasel that use javascript "fade transitions" - a fade between one image and another - are rendered like a slideshow instead of a smooth animation, and the browser becomes completely unresponsive for the duration (and is in fact quite hard to wrestle back control) They behave correctly - smooth animation, and a responsive browser - by downgrading to the version of libcairo2 in testing/wheezy (1.10.2-7). So it seems like a regression in cairo 1.12, hence reporting it here, although for all I know it might be a problem in how iceweasel uses cairo that is only exposed by the new version. Examples of pages with such transitions are www.penny-arcade.com or www.mediafire.com. For what it is worth I am using nouveau as a graphics driver, with no opengl extensions (libgl1-mesa-dri is not installed) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libcairo2 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-27 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libpixman-1-0 0.24.4-1 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 ii libxcb-render0 1.8.1-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.8.1-1 ii libxcb1 1.8.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2 ii multiarch-support 2.13-27 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.6.dfsg-2 libcairo2 recommends no packages. libcairo2 suggests no packages. -- http://rjy.org.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
