Hi Team, We are using highcharts for one of the browser application that we are building.

Using Firefox Quantum latest version and hardware acceleration enabled, when we update chart data using setData, we are facing glitches in the chart area and the update is not at all smooth. (This works fine in Chrome)

Please see the below JSFiddle to see this behavior in live. http://jsfiddle.net/ad70Lm24/5/

By doing a little research i found that disabling hardware acceleration will fix this issue and yes its working fine after disabling hardware acceleration.

I would like to know when this issue will be fixed? Because all clients will download Firefox and use default settings. They see these glitches on screen

If it's not going to be fixed any time soon, would like to know why does Firefox enabled hardware acceleration by default knowing there are known glitches?

Good day!!

Thanks in advance. Kishore Mylavarapu.

Looks fine for me.

Issues related to hardware acceleration are usually limited to a specific setup and others may not notice these issues. You do not describe what kind of rendering issues you see, but I assume you see some skewing or some artifacts or the image is otherwise distorted. If it only works properly with hardware acceleration disabled then Firefox has a problem with your graphics display driver.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Hi Cor-el, Thanks for the response.

I just checked with another machine and it works fine in that machine. Looks like an issue with my computer's hardware drivers.

But, works fine in Chrome with the same configuration.

So, i still would like to know why this works fine in Chrome with Hardware Acceleration enabled and not in Firefox?

Please read Cor-el's 1st sentence again. It depends on the system, the install, drivers, everything is different for everyone. No one cure fixes all. Unless you make your program do that instead of asking Mozilla to fix your limitations that you have.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
