Bug 124745 – Add a setting to opt into a mode where the background extends and fixed elements don't move on rubber-band

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Beth Dakin]

We should add a setting to opt into a mode where the tile cache has a margin and fixed elements don't move on rubber-band. In other words, this setting would enable a way to opt into the work done in these bugs: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124260 http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124216

EFL error is "c++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)" so we don't care.

Do you need the style recalc? Are we intending for this to be switchable, live? I don't think it will be as it stands, so maybe you don't need this either.
