Description Ilmari Heikkinen 2007-12-27 23:09:22 PST 
Tight bands in linear gradients have gaps, which looks ugly.

Looks okay on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)) with Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.2) with original WebKit.

Also looks okay with the above software using a local debug build of WebKit r29031.

This should be tested on Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) as well.
Comment 4 David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) 2007-12-29 17:56:26 PST 
Confirmed with Safari 3.0.4 (523.15) with original WebKit on Windows XP SP2.
Comment 5 David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) 2007-12-29 18:34:53 PST 
Confirmed with WebKit nightly r29022 with Safari 3.0.4 (5523.10.6) on Mac OS X Server 10.5.1 (9B18).

Changing Hardware/OS to All.  Also marking a regression since this behavior is not present on Tiger.

Is this problem still present with the latest trunk? looks good on gtk and qt.

I still see noise in the thin white line under 10.5.5 in r37300
