Summary SVG Renderers must implement computeAbsoluteRepaintRect

computeAbsoluteRepaintRect needs a new name I'm still not sure I entirely understand computeAbsoluteRepaintRect. But given this comment in RenderObject.h: // Given a rect in the object's coordinate space, this method converts the rectangle to the view's // coordinate space. virtual void computeAbsoluteRepaintRect(IntRect&, bool fixed = false); It seems the function needs a new name. It really has nothing to do with repaint rects it seems. I think pretty much all of the SVG code is either missing that function, or has a bogus implementation thereof. It would be nice to clarify the idea behind that function, and make all versions of getAbsoluteRepaintRect() use it if appropriate.

Well, I've come to understand what this function does. :) And it's very important. All of the SVG renderers need to implement this so that we can finally get incremental text repaints to work properly, as well as have a prayer of getting getOverflowClippedRect() to return a properly clipped repaint rect.
