Affected versions

Version 68.0.1
Firefox Screenshots 39.0.0

Affected Platforms

Mac

Steps to reproduce

  1. Navigate to a long page (e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20554806)
  2. Invoke the Screenshots feature (e.g., right click and select Take a Screenshot or select the Screenshot option from the page actions menu in the address bar)
  3. Select Save full page from the Screenshots menu
  4. Click Download on the Screenshots overlay/modal

Note: The issue may be particular to Mac (OS X). I could not reproduce the same issue in Windows 10 using the same Firefox version (i.e., 68.0.1)

Expected result

The screenshot maintains fidelity to what is displayed in the browser.

Actual result

Though the top ~half of the screenshot image is fine, the bottom ~half of the image is corrupt and does not reflect what is displayed in the browser. See the screenshots included below with this issue report.

Notes

Here is a screenshot that demonstrates the issue:

Same issue on Windows. Poking around the code, I'd suspect that Firefox's CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawWindow() is at fault.
