Bug 225730 – Scrolling must be done after the layout when doing full page zoom

• Component: Scrolling
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Tomoki Imai]

How to reproduce:

- Open a long page (for example http://www.rakuten.co.jp/)
- Scroll to the bottom
- Zoom in

Actual result:

Compared to the other browsers (Chrome, Firefox), the scroll position after zoom is different from the original position.

Expected result:

The relative scroll position should be retained as much as possible.

Environment:
- WinCairo MiniBrowser (trunk r277317)
- WebKitGTK MiniBrowser (trunk r277317)
- Safari 13.1 (15609.1.20.111.8)

Note:
In the current code, the updating the scrolling position is done before the re-layout.
The scrolling position is updated with the scale, but it is rounded by the original page height.

Patch

Patch to change the scrolling timing to the after layout.

When you say "Zoom in", how are you zooming?

When I scroll to the bottom on http://www.rakuten.co.jp/, then pinch-zoom to zoom in the scroll position stays in the correct place.

Maybe there's a different issue on Windows?

In Safari, we tried "View" -> "Zoom In" in the menu bar which changes "ZoomFactor". (I'll post a video later)

I didn't try the pinch-zoom, but I guess it changes the "ScaleFactor" not "ZoomFactor".
The updating scrolling position code is shared among the ports, so I believe it's not only for Windows/GTK.

OK, I do see a flash of incorrect scroll position when zooming with Command-+ after scrolling down (it jumps up, then back down again).

Reproduction in Safari 13.1

This video shows what's happened in Safari 13.1.
(Sorry for using the old Safari...)

00:00 At first, the zoom factor is the default value (probably 1). We don't see the cart icon.
00:09 Select "Zoom In", and we now see the cart icon (which we don't see in Chrome/Firefox).
01:12 Even after selecting "Zoom Out" to make the zoom factor the original value, it doesn't retain the original scroll position.

Thanks for trying!
Yes, Command-+ also should reproduce the issue because it's a shortcut for "View" -> "Zoom In".
