Comment 21 for bug 1247499

Hi Sebastian,

Hopefully this message will clarify this bug.

1) This problem still exist on Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 with the latest updates in both versions. The problem exist exactly like the image you posted, even when I turned off GPU acceleration on google-chrome and firefox.

2) This problem still happens in both version of Ubuntu. Your workaround did help solved the issue, but then again, I never watch silverlight content in a separate window, it's always embedded.

3) I'm going to reinstall google-chrome to have a fresh start and to see if this behavior is still happening. For now, on Ubuntu 13.04 Silverlight is always loading. I haven't seen any sign of Silverlight not been able to load.
As soon as I get a better way to report this bug, and see if I can replicate it, I'll be posting a separate bug for this.

4) I think there was a confusion, because this item is the same as item #3. Silverlight wasn't loading (crashing) the first time I started the browser from the shortcut and if I try to start the browser from the command line (with or without GPU acceleration) I don't see the problem.

I doubt it might be related to a graphics card since problem #1 and #2 were reproduced in two very different systems, one running Intel video and the other nVidia. Problem #3 might be related to that.
One system is a Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop and the other a desktop, both runing different versions of Ubuntu (13.04 and 13.10 respectively)
The output to "glxinfo" for the system running Ubuntu 13.10 with nVidia graphics card (desktop) is going to take a while since I'm moving and I recently shipped the desktop to my new place.
