Description

This is hrev46754.

If I take a screenshot of Web+ showing e.g. the GMail web interface, the Screenshot app's preview shows everything alright. When I save it as PNG, the resulting image is also alright. But if I copy the screenshot to the clipboard instead, and paste it into WonderBrush, I get these transparent areas:

alpha-channel issues

Here is stippi's quick analysis in IRC (30.01.2014):

[11:25] <stippi> It should make sure to init the alpha channel when it saves window contents. [11:26] <stippi> Because from app_server, you get B_RGB32, not B_RGBA32, if memory serves. It means the alpha channel could contain random garbage and should be ignored. [11:27] <stippi> It does look a bit like there is an integer overflow somewhere in the drawing code. [11:27] <stippi> Whcih would be another bug. [11:27] <stippi> One that doesn't have much of any effect, though.

(Note: I don't know if it's relevant, but stippi said "init the alpha channel when it saves window contents". As I said, saving as file does work, only copying to the clipborad results in the described issue.)

I'd be curious, though, why it only happens when screenshooting Web+...

It probably fills its bitmaps completely (and leaves out the alpha channel), whereas the app_server clears newly allocated bitmaps.
