shading-filled bars in figure 10 of tracemonkey paper don't render on some OS's in firefox

[joneschrisg]

On X11, android, and windows XP systems, the bars will likely not render. This is because of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664077 . Filing this issue to track the Mozilla bug.

using skia azure backend fixes the issue on win xp (gfx.canvas.azure.backends = direct2d,skia,cairo)

I can confirm that the shading bars in figure 10 do not render on Android 4.3 with Firefox 23.0.1 and the latest PDF.js development version.

I do not see this bug anymore on my machines with the demo tracemonkey paper.

• Debian Stretch (testing) 64 bits, firefox 39b1 and "PDF 110dd61fd57444010b1ab5ff38782f0f [1.4 pdfeTeX-1.21a / TeX](PDF.js: 1.1.185)"
• Debian Jessie (stable) 64bits, Firefox 38.0.1, and "PDF 110dd61fd57444010b1ab5ff38782f0f [1.4 pdfeTeX-1.21a / TeX](PDF.js: 1.1.185)"

However, the upstream bug is not marked as fixed.
Anyone else can confirm that ?

@timvandermeij Could you test this one too ? I think it's fixed now.

[timvandermeij]

I can reproduce this issue on Arch Linux x64. The canvas backend I use is Cairo.

[timvandermeij]

I have confirmed that Firefox 48 fixes this for me on Arch Linux. Closing as fixed, but if someone encounters this issue again after Firefox 48, please create a new issue with all details about the browser and OS.
