Bug 68638 – [CSSRegions] Make RenderFlowThread track if it has variable width regions

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Make RenderFlowThread track if it has variable width regions. This will be relevant for speed as we begin adding code to shrink lines and do custom painting of blocks, etc.

I think the naming can be improved, “variable widths” seems like the width can change, maybe you can use “nonUniformLogicalWidth” or flip it and call it “regionsHaveUniformLogicalWidth”.

Seems like you need to set m_regionsHaveVariableLogicalWidth to false here, too. Otherwise once it goes true it will never become false again!

Seems like this isn't needed yet, but maybe you intend to use it in the future?

Nice catch! Wouldn't be a correctness issue, but would be a performance one!
