Description Ben Levenson 2008-04-11 22:19:25 UTC 
firefox does not render properly on external display

Description of problem:
firefox does not render properly on external display

I haven't found a reliable reproducer, but every now and then when my laptop is
connected to an external display, firefox will start in the incorrect
resolution. See the attached screenshots to see what I mean.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.0-0.beta5.1.el5
xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.11.el5
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.41.el5

How reproducible:
25% of the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot laptop into runlevel 5 (native resolution is 1280x800)
2. connect an external display and close the lid on the laptop
3. login , gnome session begins w/ resolution=1280x1024
4. bump the resolution to 1600x1200 w/ xrandr
5. start firefox
 
Actual results:
See the attached screenshot

fixes this.  very simple patch that made it just after beta.  We already have to
take some patches for snap 6, can we get this in as well, too?

Comment 4 Ben Levenson 2008-04-15 15:19:46 UTC 
the patch referenced in comment #2 does not appear to help. are any additional
tweaks necessary to get it to work as expected?

Ben, you probably patched firefox.  The patch was needed in xulrunner.

Yup, that's exactly what I did.  I'll give the new xulrunner RPMS a spin.
