I wish I understood the difference between “rounding” and “pixel snapping”.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/EllipsisBox.cpp:140
> +    FloatRect clipRect = pixelSnappedForPainting(x() + paintOffset.x(), top + paintOffset.y(), m_logicalWidth, h, renderer().document().deviceScaleFactor());
> +
>      context->clip(clipRect);

Not sure we need a local variable for this.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/InlineTextBox.cpp:760
> +    LayoutUnit selHeight = std::max<LayoutUnit>(0, selectionBottom - selectionTop);

Might be nice to use the word “selection” instead of the abbreviation “sel” here.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/InlineTextBox.cpp:765
> +    FloatRect clipRect = pixelSnappedForPainting(LayoutRect(LayoutPoint(localOrigin), LayoutSize(m_logicalWidth, selHeight)), deviceScaleFactor);
>      context->clip(clipRect);

Not sure we need a local variable for this.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/InlineTextBox.h:199
>  INLINE_BOX_OBJECT_TYPE_CASTS(InlineTextBox, isInlineTextBox())
> -
> -void alignSelectionRectToDevicePixels(FloatRect&);
> -
>  } // namespace WebCore

Should leave a blank line here.

Nothing, they both round. It is indeed confusing and I am planning to cleanup and fix all these different/legacy terms soon after I removed the compile time flag for subpixel layout.

This patch made the inline text snapping errors visible for selections. It gets fixed when inline texts start setting its position properly on device pixels.
