Bug 19179 – Edge fringe artifact with transformed, masked elements (including reflections)

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[CJ Yetman]

When adding a reflection with -webkit-box-reflect that has a gradient mask... if you also use -webkit-transform: skew, you will see a line at the edge of the reflected image. You will not see the line if the skew is removed or set to 0 degrees. Probably just something to do with the anti-aliasing of the gradient or the skewed image, but there should be some way to resolve it. Sorry, I don't know all the proper terminology, so I'll just attach a test case.

(Tested on latest nightly r33980)

Great test cases. Thanks!

This can probably happens when applying any mask to any transformed box.

rdar://6608800 is a different issue. We need a new Radar report.
