Bug 135453 – REGRESSION: Animations inside RTL multicolumn content is broken

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Ryosuke Niwa]

When a CSS animation is added to an element inside a RTL multicolumn content,
the accelerated layer is shown at a wrong location.

Test case

See how "hello" moves between two locations but it shouldn't.
It should always show up on the right of "world".

[Ryosuke Niwa]

This one appears to be caused by accumulateOffsetTowardsAncestor adding the offset in:

                RenderRegion* region = toRenderMultiColumnFlowThread(parentLayer->renderer()).physicalTranslationFromFlowToRegion(location);
                if (region)
                    location.moveBy(region->topLeftLocation() + -parentLayer->renderBox()->topLeftLocation());

Removing the last two lines here fixes the bug.

It's curious how RenderBoxModelObject::adjustedPositionRelativeToOffsetParent has a very similar code:

                    RenderRegion* region = toRenderMultiColumnFlowThread(curr)->physicalTranslationFromFlowToRegion(referencePoint);
                    if (region)
                        referencePoint.moveBy(region->topLeftLocation());

Isn't this just all RenderLayer content, even without animation? I thought you had an example with opacity.
