Scrolling up fullscreen in webbrowser-app has line artifacts on screen

[Mitchell]

Each time I scroll up when the webbrowser-app (Ubuntu web browser) is full screen gives me random black lines across the screen. These artifacts are on fullscreen only.

If the webbrowser-app is shipping as the default webapp container, this issue should be fixed prior to release. I'm happy to help trouble shoot with bug reports if someone wants to have a go fixing this. I am on an XPS 13 Ultrabook.

Also fullscreen doesn’t work in YouTube.

This version is already released. According to the bug description, you’re on Trusty (Ubuntu 14.04) which was released in April.
What would be very helpful is if you could install the latest development version (codename Utopic, to be released as Ubuntu 14.10 in October) and see if the problem is still present there.

Amr Ibrahim, fullscreen is known not to work in trusty, and it won’t be fixed there (it would require backporting too many changes).
It is implemented in the development release however, Utopic, to be released as Ubuntu 14.10 in October.
