Bug 128929 – border-box clip-paths jump around when outline changes

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: CSS

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

The reference box for clip paths is being computed incorrectly, resulting in the clip path changing when outlines change. This is breaking a test:

In computeReferenceBox(), rootRelativeBounds() is probably the wrong box to use; it takes outlines into account.

I don't understand. If rootRelativeBounds takes outline into account (which makes sense, didn't think about that before) why does this not affect the dimension of rootRelativeBounds? Shouldn't the width and height of rootRelativeBounds have the outline as well?

I assume your test passes so it seems not the case. I would just like to know why. This doesn't seem logical.

Could you use the new syntax please? This is the deprecated syntax that I would very much like to remove.

New syntax is circle(<radius> at <position>) and to archive the same as you did, just circle() :)

Anyway. Still don't understand why rootRelativeBounds takes the offset of outline but not the dimension.

rootRelativeBounds is just a bounding box for drawing, since it encompasses outlines and positioned descendants (which might be positioned to your top/left). So it's location is not the right thing to use to offset the border box.

The size of rootRelativeBounds IS affected by outline, but that only get used in the to-be-removed "BoxMissing" state.
