Rubber-banding in the DOM view of the WebInspector is really jumpy

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Beth Dakin]

* SUMMARY
If you try to rubber-band in the DOM view of the WebInspector, things get a bit jumpy.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a web page, I used http://www.webkit.org.
2. Open the WebInspector and make sure the DOM tree view is visible.
3. Make sure the DOM tree view is scrollable by expanding as many of the nodes as you can (I option-clicked the body).
4. Scroll and rubber-band the view with your mouse cursor over the nodes (you will notice the blue hightlight moving from node to node staying under your cursor).

* RESULTS
As you rubber-band, the view will jump around a bit.

* REGRESSION
This is new with the changes to add rubber-banding in overflow areas.

* NOTES
If you rubber-band over the scrollbar track while it is visible or when the WebInspector is not the frontmost window, you will not see the jumping, but you will notice the blue hightlight also does not change.

Do you need to check the setting here, since presumably overhangAmount() will just return 0,0 otherwise?

True. Probably no need to belt-and-suspenders here.

Here's a new patch that shouldn't break any tests or other ports. RenderLayer should call into ScrollAnimatorMac's implementation of isRubberBandInProgress() that will check to ensure there is a non-zero overhangAmount (like my first patch did) but it will also make sure you are in the middle of a momentum gesture.

Could omit the else and share the "return false". Not sure if it would be better or not.
