Reported 2009-07-06 22:20:32 PDT
The current RenderLayerCompositor algorithm only makes use of painting order trees when deciding which layers should be composited. This means that an element like <video> can kick a bunch of non-overlapping elements into compositing layers, with resulting impact on text antialiasing. We can improve the RenderLayerCompositor algorithm to look at overlap.
