Description Michael Catanzaro 2016-09-07 08:28:51 PDT
Since we enabled threaded compositor, we now have a bunch of tests that occasionally pass when they usually fail. In build #18023 we have 84 unexpected passes, for example; that never happened before threaded compositor. What's interesting is these tests either always pass or always fail in a particular run of run-webkit-tests; they are clearly flaky, but they don't contribute to the flakiness count.

Carlos Garcia suggests in bug #161242#c20:
