Probably not useful.

This "== nil" probably comes from UIKit, you can update this to the WebKit style.

Typo: "veriy"

Maybe find a better name for this?

This is unlikely correct. The absoluteBoundingBoxRect and unobscuredContentRect should be in the same coordinate system already.

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/WebPage/ios/WebPageIOS.mm:776
> +    if (boundingRectInScrollViewCoordinates.height() > m_page->mainFrame().view()->unobscuredContentRect().height() * factor)

You may want to use the exposedContentRect() here to make the behavior more predictable. Otherwise the behavior would change depending if the bars are in or out.

It probably does not matter much.

Can you add an explanation for this fix in the ChangeLog?
