Next step: try with different (virtual and/or bare metal) graphics adapters, try without the Mesa backport, try on current devel (i.e. with the Mesa backport and Tor Browser 5.x).

Can’t reproduce on:

• tails-i386-devel-2.4-20160521T1819Z-66ffb1b.iso (Mesa backports, Tor Browser 5.x) in the same VM
• tails-i386-feature_11403-tor-browser-6.x-2.4-20160525T1414Z-04b3e43.iso with a VGA graphics adapter

So it seems to be the combination of QXL with Tor Browser 6.x that is a problem.

anonym can’t reproduce, so I’ll retry after rebooting (got some important host system upgrades today, didn’t reboot yet).

I can still reproduce this after a reboot. I don’t know what to do about it, so adding frontdesk to the watch list, so they’re aware of this potential problem, and can let us know if anyone reports any such regression in 2.4~rc1 or later. goupille: please reassign to whoever is on duty during next week, and this one should ideally then report back and reassign to whoever is on duty from June 6 to June 12.

I cannot reproduce even without this branch merged, but trust that it fixes your problem. I do see significant improvements for Bug #11500.

Merged!
