Bug 196612 – [iOS Sim] Layout Test scrollingcoordinator/ios/ui-scroll-fixed.html is a flaky failure

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Shawn Roberts]

The following layout test is flaky on iOS Simulator Release WK2

scrollingcoordinator/ios/ui-scroll-fixed.html

Probable cause:

Test was added in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/242683/webkit 

A note was made on previous bug, but a fix does not appear to have been made.

I can reproduce. This only seems to happen if amount scrolled (50px) is identical to the top of #container, so we must have an early return in code somewhere.

Would this be fixed by a web->ui message that that signals we did a compositing layer update but nothing changed, so we are skipping the commit? This would just call applyLayerPositionsAfterCommit() to check for m_wasScrolledByDelegatedScrollingSincePreviousCommit bit.

Since we have managed to make a test for this it bit sad to let it go waste.

I filed bug 203112 to cover the underlying bug.
