Could you provide some URL where this bug is reproducible, so that we can test it, please? (echo '<html><body><div style="text-align: justify;">'; yes whatever | head -10000; echo '</div></body></html>') > slow.html Scrolling is also horrendously slow. Change the 'justify' above to 'left' to see the speed difference. Hmm, firefox 2.0.0.6 on gutsy has the same slow down, but not just as bad I think. An old possibly related mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302968 I agree, with comment 3. This bug has been already registered in the upstream database (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302968) and believe that it is more appropriate to let it be resolved upstream. Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thank you for the bug report. Err you closed that a bit quickly I think. I only noticed this since Fedora 8, so it may be a confluence of various factors. I did a bit of looking around and comparing firefox 1.0.8 on ubuntu 5.10, that was slower at left justified than ff-2.0.0.8 but much faster at justified. I also tried different fonts and the default F8 font of Deja Vu is the slowest by a fair margin. liberation is not too bad. Microsoft fonts like Calibri are a bit faster again. Also there was no comment on the recently pango justification support. I'm unsure hang pango fits into firefox so that might be totally off base. I just tried firefox 2.0.0.8 on windows and there is no noticeable delay at all in scrolling justified text. I also notice that general.smoothscroll is on by default on ff on Fedora 8 at least, which slows things down a little more. The rest of my GUI is very fast, running the latest intel X driver Padraig, I am not saying that there is no bug here, but that we have no resources to deal with it inside of Red Hat, so if you want to investigate it further your comments will be certainly welcome in the upstream bug. When that is resolved upstream, we will get the fix with the next release of Firefox. Commenting here is probably waste of your time. |
