Additional notes

  • The issue can be seen in the following attachment
  • The issue is not reproducible on Nightly 94.0a1
Has STR: --- → yes

I wonder if the addition of the double nested event loop in bug 1729879 will fix this...

  • The issue is not reproducible on Nightly 94.0a1

csasca, does this still happen for you in beta 93? If so, might you be able to track down which Nightly build it was fixed in using mozregression? https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/

Yes, still happening in 93.0b4, tried doing a manual regression (mozregression won't come with the prompt to install the dmg or not) and seems like 93.0a1 (2021-09-01) is the first and is not affected by the issue.

93 does not have the fix from bug 1729879 yet. I'd expect the patch from that bug to fix this bug, too.
