WK2: Programatic scroll requests during scroll or zoom animation to reveal focused element are ignored.

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Enrica Casucci]

Given the asynchronous scrolling model of WK2 on iOS, we can receive a request to scroll from JavaScript while the UI process is still animating to reveal the focused input element.
This breaks the behavior of pages like www.amazon.co.jp on iOS.

As discussed: let's move this on a separate patch, and handle the programmatic scroll.

> Source/WebCore/platform/ScrollableArea.h:72
> +    virtual bool inProgrammaticScroll() const { return false; }

Please move this to ScrollView.

You should also add override on FrameView's implementation.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKWebView.mm:118
> +    BOOL _isAnimatingScrollOrZoom;

Let's try to remove this and stop the animations systematically.

We will need a more generic heuristic to solve conflicts between user gesture and animation origination from WebProcess's requests.
