[GTK] Web view is not redrawn when reparented in force compositing mode

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

This is easy to reproduce undocking the inspector:

1- Run MiniBrowser with WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
2- Open the inspector
3- Click on undock button

The new window is created and the view is moved there but nothing is rendered. you need to force a redraw, by resizing the window, for example, to see the contents. This also happen when using the threaded compositor, since compositing mode is always enabled too.

Does this fix the similar bug that occurs when resizing the window?

I don't know I haven't noticed that. Do you mean when resizing the window with the threaded compositor or without it but compositing mode forced?

With compositing mode, without threaded compositor... but actually, I can't reproduce it anymore. Let's forget about it for now; maybe it got fixed at some point.

Previous patch broke the build with redirected X window disabled because of a wrong ifdef.
