Please, please fix chromium paint order bug
Chromium has a longstanding paint order bug that prevents text from rendering properly when it is both underlined and has a drop-shadow applied. The underline ends up being broken up by the drop-shadow. This is only one ramification of the bug; the bug results in many other text-rendering oddities. As another example, multiple text shadows spanning multiple lines also render wrong (see below image). Firefox, old IE, old Edge, and other browsers do not have this bug and render text correctly. New Edge now has the bug from chromium. Can you please please, please fix this chromium paint order bug, now that it affects Edge, too? https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=776627 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=713376
- That text distortion looks really awful. im interested to test it out too, can you please suggest me a web page that can display the bug as obviously as possible? thanks
HotCakeX Did you check out those links? There are also several others on the chromium forums. Users regularly resubmit different variants of this paint order bug, but chromium admins have more or less suppressed all of the bug reports by merging them, making them ownerless, and giving them lower than the highest priority, so that they never get addressed.
David Rubino Any chance of this bug being addressed by the Edge Dev team?
- Well sites like
https://www.w3.org
or
https://jsfiddle.net
don't count.
I was referring to real life examples on website with at least decent daily users. that means no self hosted site to produce a possible bug that Can also be caused by wrongly implementing CSS codes.
