The 'immediate' parameter is needlessly passed around, so it should be removed (as the fixme says it in WebCore::RenderView::repaintViewRectangle).

Comment on attachment 224775 [details] Proposed patch Nice.
Created attachment 224803 [details] Proposed patch @simon.fraser: thank you for the review. Unfortunately, the mac and wk2 builds failed after you set the r+ flag. To make sure I don't mess up the build of any ports, I upload an updated patch again. In the update, there were two 'non-trivial' modifications. WebChromeClient::invalidateRootView() does depend on the immediate argument and ScrollView::scrollContents() calls it both ways. The other case is WebChromeClient::invalidateRootView() which is almost always called with immediate set to false, but ScrollView::paintOverhangAreas() and ScrollView::removePanScrollIcon() call it with true. In this patch I considered it as false and eliminated the related code. However, I'm not familiar with these ports, so I'd like to ask for a second round of review. :)
