Would this be a sensible approach? What are the antialiasing semantics of the simple rectangular clip function when used while a transformation is applied to the layer? 

Inferring from the other implementations (Qt, Skia) I believe it shouldn't antialias - does anyone know more details?

I am CC'ing some people who have worked on this - thanks for your help in this matter.

[Mike Reed]

my 2 cents:

I think skia doesn't antialias rect-clips for legacy and perceived performance reasons, not as an explicit feature. In the past skia didn't support aa clipping at all, but now it does, so perhaps we should revisit this question for skia as well.

Thanks Mike - that would fit my assumption that the GraphicsContext WebKit interface would for legacy reasons also not assume the rectangular clip function to be antialiased. Can someone confirm that?

Nice catch! Do you mind regenerating pixel results for GTK+ to more easily verify this change?

It's probably worth dropping a comment here explaining why you are doing this.

Sure - rebaselined for EFL and GTK.

Done.

I believe the Chromium EWS bot failure is a flaky test - let's hope it goes throught his time.
