Bug 124506 – REGRESSION(r159166?): fast/block/float/float-with-fractional-height-vertical-lr.html, fast/block/float/float-with-fractional-height.html are failing

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Zan Dobersek]

The following reftests are failing after (most likely) changes in r159166:
 fast/block/float/float-with-fractional-height-vertical-lr.html
 fast/block/float/float-with-fractional-height.html

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/159166

The GTK port enables subpixel layout. EFL does as well though, and there's no regression there AFAIK.

Both tests are failing on EFL too - EFL bot does not show results when 'Show all runs' is enabled

Failures are the same as on GTK:

That's unfortunate. I'll get a GTK or EFL build working and look into it.

As far as I can tell, this is happening because the test is running afoul of IEEE floating point being imprecise. It is expecting 1.2 + 1.2 + 1.2 to be >= 3.6, but that isn't happening in practice, so the last line of the test is seen as overlapping the float. I'll see if I can come up with some numbers that always add up correctly to change the test to fix the issue.

I take that back, that's not what's happening. It looks like converting to layout units broke the fix for bug 112744, so I'm looking for another solution, if I don't find one, I guess I'll just have to put the placed floats tree back as ints, or truncate the layout units coming in.

This patch fixes the issue by flooring the floating object interval endpoints to revert to the old behavior. I have filed bug 125831 to track coming up with a better fix.

Not great to have a hack for that :/
