boost-canvas crashes when rendering large series (arearange)

[known-as-bmf]

It seems that rendering area range on very large series with boost (more precisely boost-canvas) imported crashes

Tests ran with:

• Firefox (66.0.5 (64 bits))
• Chrome Version 74.0.3729.157 (Build officiel) (64 bits)

Expected behaviour

Chart rendering wether boost or boost-canvas is used

Actual behaviour

Highcharts detects WebGL in Chrome and renders fine,
Highcharts does not detect WebGL in Firefox - error 26 - and crash in boost-canvas.js:196 c.eachAsync is not a function

Live demo with steps to reproduce

• Run the above link in Chrome and Firefox
• Chrome should render without issue
• Firefox should not
  https://jsfiddle.net/5mte784s/1/

Product version

Highcharts latest version (7.1.1)

Affected browser(s)

Hi @known-as-bmf,
Thank you for reporting about the bug. Currently I did not receive any errors in the Firefox, as a result I was not able to reproduce the issue.

MacOSX 10.12.4.
FF: 66.0.3

Please let me know about your OS / FF version details.

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback

I'm using Windows 10 (1809) and the latest FF 66.0.5 (64 bits)

I think the problem is in the boost-canvas module, have you tried disabling WebGL and running the jsfiddle ?

I guess it only happens in FF on my machine because WebGL isn't properly detected

Hi @known-as-bmf,
I tested in the same environment like yours and still was not able to reproduce the issue. Is it possible to reproduce it in different stable conditions?

[known-as-bmf]

To reproduce in Chrome:

• close all instances of chrome
• launch chrome with command line: chrome --disable-webgl
• test that webgl is disabled here https://webglreport.com/?v=1
• go to https://jsfiddle.net/5mte784s/1/

the following error should appear Uncaught TypeError: c.eachAsync is not a function

Hi @known-as-bmf,
Thank you for details. Now I was able to reproduce the issue.

Windows: 10 (1809)
Chrome: 74.0.3729.157 x64
Disabled webgl.

Internal note
The boost.seriesThreshold = 1 does not solve the issue like I expected when found the other bug: #6842.

Hey guys, any news on this issue? I also have troubles with this one as it seems.

[sebastianbochan]

I have passed the case to our boost developers. He will answer you as soon as possible.
