Bug 83213 – RenderLayer scrollbars' updates should be split between layout induced and style change induced

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Julien Chaffraix]

The current code in RenderLayer::updateScrollInfoAfterLayout handles the 2 types of scrollbars' changes which is wrong. Several of the updates are only tied to style changes and should be done in RenderLayer::styleChanged().

This makes the code confusing to follow and adds more code to updateScrollInfoAfterLayout than necessary.

Patch forthcoming.

I don't find this comment particularly clear.

I'd say "at an invalid scroll position"

Shouldn't you use the hasVerticalScrollbar() method here?

This comment is a bit confusing too. I think you mean that with overflow:scroll, scrollbars are always visible but might be disabled.

I will just remove it as it is not a super important comment. Overflow: scroll use this function to enable / disable scrollbars so it needs to remove the scrollbar from the available height (thus the use of client height). In other context, removing the scrollbar's size is not advisable and the cause of bug 71541 AFAICT.

Sure.

Good call, let me rephrase that.
