WebGL canvas paints background color twice

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

A WebGL canvas with a CSS background color with alpha will render that background color twice. If the canvas has rounded corners, one layer of background color will show through at the corners.

Testcase

Reopening, since this will be an issue once the patch in bug 33361 is landed.

The issue is that, for a directly composited WebGL layer, HTMLCanvasElement::paint() may never be called, so the beginPaint()/reshape()/endPaint() calls will never be called on the WebGLRenderingContext.

Now, some style change can happen that requires that the canvas's layer gets backing store and paints (say, a border is added). Then this method will call WebGLRenderingContext::reshape(), which causes the canvas to be cleared.

That last comment was meant for bug 33392.

Per-function change log comments are encouraged.

The naming here is really unfortunate, because it gives “box decoration” conflicting meanings. In hasBoxDecorations(), a background color counts as “box decoration”, but in hasBoxDecorationsOrBackgroundImage() it doesn’t. Your rename doesn’t make things better, just different.

Typo: “fo”

Not a fan of this name (sounds like this function tells you whether the layer has painted its content already), but I don’t have an alternative suggestion.
