• Status: REOPENED
• Component: Canvas

Left shows Safari with red horizontal line. Right shows Chrome rendering linear gradients correctly.

Go to https://codepen.io/jonobr1/full/rNrWjwb and draw a vertical line by clicking and dragging the mouse. In Chrome the linear gradient (from red at top to blue at bottom) draws correctly. In Safari, the shape draws correctly, but also adds an erroneous red horizontal line at the top. (See attached image where Safari is left and Chrome is right).

You can see the full code (editable) here: https://codepen.io/jonobr1/pen/rNrWjwb

I think it has something to do with saving and restoring the context at different scales to accommodate high dpi devices.

I can confirm that this is not an issue on older OS of Mac and Safari. (Image attached for Safari 14 and MacOS 10.14.6)

This is working for me on macOS 13 and Safari Tech Preview 160, aka 16+

closing as working for me.

Thanks for the test case and the report. 
As this is working in recent versions, let's close it.

Hi Karl, I tried and it seems to still reproducing while I try to drag my mouse on canvas in STP160 compared to Chrome Canary 111.

ha interesting it doesn't reproduce even when dragging for me. 
Maybe it was fixed in my more recent version of the OS.
on the MacBook Pro with M1 

I also can't reproduce on STP 160 on macOS 13.1

Actually, the issue persists in Safari Technology Preview on MacOS 13. I'm on a MacBook Pro M1 16". I'll add an attachment with a screenshot.

Karl, looking at your screenshot did you by chance not drag the mouse? If you click and it renders once there doesn't seem to be an issue. But, as soon as you drag your mouse the horizontal line comes in.

I've noticed in some screen sizes that it only comes up when the path hits the top or bottom edge of the window.

same thing

Let's reopen as Ahmad and you can reproduce. Let's try to understand what could be the differences.

Thanks, glad it looks good for you. I made a non-interactive version here: https://codepen.io/jonobr1/pen/NWBbEXy?editors=0010

The issue persists for me still on Safari and STP.

Following up here that this also occurs in Mobile Safari (iOS 16.1 20B82) attachment has screenshot of latest non-interactive codepen.
