Bug 169943 – When the browser window is activated or deactivated, images can flash

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Images

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

We can get flashes of undecided images when the browser window goes between foreground and background.

This happens because tile size changes trigger painting, and we may have thrown away decoded data via the MemoryCache pruning timer, so we have to re-decode async and thus flash.

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

So the memory cache prunes on a timer, and destroys decoded image data via:

  * frame #0: 0x0000000117c78a9c WebCore`WebCore::BitmapImage::destroyDecodedData(this=0x0000000123a345c0, destroyAll=true) at BitmapImage.cpp:68
