Hello everyone,
since updating to Pale Moon 28.0.1 (64) on Linux Mint XFCE, I have some lines of pixels shifted to the right. This happes across multiple websites, e.g.,
tu-dresden.de
or google.com/images
but does not happen in other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Chrome). The lines are not consistent and can be fixed by scrolling up and down, although this usually creates other lines somewhere else. My impression is that it is less likely to happen if I scroll very quickly.
Greetings,
Arnad

Re: Horizontal pixel shift
What video card?
Issue persist if you disabled Hardware Acceleration?
I forgot, does PM have "smooth scrolling"?
If so, If you were to toggle its' setting?
(I imagine there are a ton of video related Prefs & I wouldn't have a clue on those.)

Re: Horizontal pixel shift
Just like you, I also use 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.0.1 runnning in 64 bit linux Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce. I cannot reproduce the problem you're having and I even used one of your examples with the "Release Notes with About Pale Moon".arnad wrote:Hello everyone,

Its an onboard intel, Intel Corporation Device 22b1 (rev 21).therube wrote:What video card?
Yes, although I have the feeling that it happens less. Hard to put than in numbers, thoughtherube wrote:Issue persist if you disabled Hardware Acceleration?
Re: Horizontal pixel shift
This seems to have done it. Could obviously be I just got lucky, but I've used it without smooth scrolling for about three hours and not seen any shifts.therube wrote: I forgot, does PM have "smooth scrolling"?
Re: Horizontal pixel shift
Smooth scrolling requires very rapid blitting and video updates. This can be a problem with some setups (especially internal video with a shared memory model) and certain drivers that have timing bugs.
Glad to hear disabling it solved your problem.
