Description Berend De Schouwer 2020-10-10 10:29:49 UTC
Description of problem:

The context menu is sometimes (+- 50%) invisible.  The menu does react to clicks and keyboard shortcuts, and often when dragging the mouse over the menu the menu suddenly appears.

This applies to the menu on the tabs (close tab, pin tab,...) and menus inside web pages (copy, paste, ...)

the menu is in the correct spot


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

firefox-81.0.1-5.fc33.x86_64
wayland


How reproducible:

It happens more or less 50% of the menus attempted.  Cancelling the menu (escape, or left click elsewhere) and trying again often displays the menu.

It *seems* to happen more often if the machine is busier.  It *seems* difficult to replicate when the machine is completely idle.  It's > 90% when "busy".

"busy" means a lot of cpu, and load average between 1 and 2.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox
2. open any web page
3. right click


Actual results:

menu is invisible, but does react to shortcuts and clicks


Expected results:

menu is visible.


Additional info:

single monitor, lo-dpi (1080p), wayland

No add-on closed-source drivers installed, just stock Fedora.

Comment 1 Berend De Schouwer 2020-10-10 10:30:32 UTC
I didn't get this in Fedora 32 / Firefox 80.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2020-10-11 07:21:46 UTC
Yes, this it a regression in firefox-81.0.1-5. Please downgrade to firefox-81.0.1-4 or wait until firefox-81.0.1-9 hits the update - f33 builds are recently blocked by gcc crash - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1886399

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2021-11-04 17:13:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '33'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2021-11-30 16:46:02 UTC
Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
