Slight artifacts on escaping and spinning NO2 and O3 molecules #122

Open phet-steele opened 8 years ago

While testing 1.1.0-rc.1 in FF 40 (Win 8.1), I saw ever so slight artifacts being left behind after movement of NO2 and O3 molecules.

Unable to reproduce on Windows 7 FF 40.0.2, but to be honest I can't really see any artifacts in the image above.

jessegreenberg commented 8 years ago

Ah, when I blow up the image, I can see very small green dots in between the two ultraviolet photons, @phet-steele is this what you are referring to?

phet-steele commented 8 years ago

Yea, they travel all the way up the screen, too. They are small, sure, but pretty obvious on my screen.

phet-steele commented 8 years ago

l'll update FF and see what happens.

phet-steele commented 8 years ago

Still there.

ariel-phet commented 8 years ago

@jessegreenberg you can mark this as will not fix for the moment, but leave this as an open issue.

jbphet commented 8 years ago

@jonathanolson - I thought you might want to take a quick look at this and see if it is anything to be concerned about in Scenery. If there is nothing obvious, please assign back to me.

jbphet commented 8 years ago

Not needed for the upcoming release.

jonathanolson commented 8 years ago

Looks like a Firefox-specific SVG rendering bug.

A potential fix would be to have at least 1px of transparency along the borders of the image (it looks like the semi-transparent content goes all the way to the edge of the image). Don't have a good idea of how likely this would be to fix it.

jessegreenberg commented 8 years ago

I was just able to reproduce this. It is so hard to see I think I missed it the first time tracers

Leaving as open issue, but not to be fixed for this release.

jbphet commented 8 years ago

Since we're not going to try to address it for the next release, I will unassign the issue until we decide to close or address it.
