Bug 75970 – background-size:100% 100%; Webkit doesn't spread background image

• Component: CSS
• Status: NEW

Background: the described operation *succeeds* on:
Box: 13" MBP 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo browsers built-in Safari, Chrome 16.0.912.75, Firefox 10.0, Opera 11.60, Camino 2.1 (1.9.2.24 20111113195207)
Box: iPad2 iOS5 built-in Safari

The operation *fails* on Webkit nightly 5.1.2 (7534.52.7, r104486) [and has failed on several nightlies up until now]

The operation is as follows. The web page is described in CSS with 

html { 

background: #bdafa2 url("../gradient.svg") fixed repeat-x;

background-size: 100% 100%;

color: #000;

height: 100%;
 
...

}

"gradient.svg" describes a rectangle 640 wide by 480 high, with a linear gradient containing color stops at top, midway, and bottom.

To repeat, all browsers except Webkit nightly spread the background with "background-size:100% 100%". Webkit displays a background of width 640[px].

When the "background-size" is removed from the CSS, Webkit displays the SVG, repeated-x (and not spread-y) with the fall-back background-color filling any remaining space.

This was also reported in the Chromium bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=110195

As of  (7534.53.10, r107802) this appears to have been resolved.

We should add a layout test to make sure this doesn't regress in the future.

Of what would a "layout test" consist? Sample HTML plus CSS plus SVG?

Yes, that's basically all they are.

Failing test file

In the test file, I would expect svg image to resize (as it does in Firefox & Opera).
The behavior seems to be slightly different between Chrome (no scaling), Chrome Canary (no scaling, repeats), and Safari (no scaling, rendering artifacts as window resizes).

Appears to be working properly in r142638. Will add a test case.

It still doesn't work, a test case from the Chromium report (compare with Firefox): http://jsfiddle.net/DXT8b/3/

[Fredrik Söderquist]

We're about to land a fix for this in Blink (https://codereview.chromium.org/2290173005/), don't know how similar this code is still, but hopefully it hasn't diverged too much.

[Brent Fulgham]

It doesn't look like we render this test the same was as Firefox and Chrome.
