Black squares and rectangles in some pages

Post by pchamorro »

Hi all, the new version 19.0 fixed all my reported bugs but brought a new one:

1. Open some pages
2. Scrolling with the mouse with the middle button or by clicking Up or Down in the scroll bar at the right of each page produces random black squares and rectangles that appear and disappear and some of them remains visible. Please look these images:

The issue is not always reproducible. It happened for http://as.com just once. It hadn't happened for cyclingnews again, but it keeps happening for several pages from http://revistamundociclistico.com, e.g. http://revistamundociclistico.com/ruta/ ... lasov.html (pages with Disqus comments)

But it only happens in one of my computers, not in other computers :(

Thank you

I have something similar, but not exactly the same happening.

Every webpage, when I use a drop down selection box the drop down menu is completely blacked leaving just the main section with a visible selection, the mouse cannot be used in this case to select a choice from the drop down menu. Instead I have to scroll using the down / up arrows to find the selection I want.

Same here. Noticeably dropdowns. Try this page here:

Try any of the dropdowns and mine turn black. It works fine in the latest chrome.

My issue with drop downs has been resolved. I was using the standalone in a folder on the C drive. I installed the latest version, doing a regular installation not the standalone, and deleted my standalone. Using the normal installation of the most recent version 19.0.4, I no longer have issues with the drop down boxes.

I have no idea for Linux. I recommend reporting this issue directly using the Feedback Link.
