Bug 13948 – Google Maps new Street View mode leaves rendering artifacts

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

The new Google Maps street view mode is pretty neat, and works pretty well in WebKit nightlies.

However, there's some rendering artifacts left behind after the photo viewer transitions onto the map display.

Steps to repro -
1 - Go to maps.google.com and search for a location that has street view data.  I used "4th and King, San Francisco, CA" - the location of the Caltrain station
2 - Click "Street View" to reveal the blue outlines of the streets and the little person that you can drag around to specify where you want your street view photo to be centered
3 - Click anywhere on a blue outlined street to make the little orange guy move there.

Notice that the photo view drops down onto the map display from above.  As it animates down, it leaves behind rendering artifacts in the form area above the map.

Since it's kind of hard to describe, I've attached screenshots of before, during, and after.

I'm using a local debug build of r21911

BTW, not a regression - happens in 2.0.4 as well
