Bug Description

Right clicking on the webbrowser-app's location bar, the popup is blurry (e.g. Select All, Paste). It looks like the pop-up is not pixel-aligned.

The rest of the app, including right clicking on a web page is clear and has no such problem.

The blurry problem persists in webbrowser-app under Unity7 too. It's an app bug.

I’m seeing the same blurry contextual popup with a simple TextField anchored to the top of an item, so it seems to be an issue with the UITK itself. Only the icons are affected, not the text.

import QtQuick 2.4
import Ubuntu.Components 1.3
Item {
  width: units.gu(40)
  height: units.gu(20)
  TextField {
    anchors {
      margins:units.gu(2)
      left: parent.left
      right: parent.right
      top: parent.top
    }
    text: "lorem ipsum"
  }
}

affects:

webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) → ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu)

My text also looks quite blurry. But we're talking about an offset of less than one pixel so it might not be immediately obvious to everyone. If it's not the same bug then the text rendering needs improving because no other text on the screen looks this bad. But it feels like the same amount of blur I'm seeing in the icons and text below them.
