Bug 147236 – Web Inspector: TimelineOverview scroll container eats mouse events due to its large z-index

• Status: NEW
• Component: Web Inspector

[Matt Baker]

* SUMMARY
TimelineOverview scroll container eats mouse events due to its large z-index. The bottom 16px of the TimelineOverview cannot respond to mouse events to create ruler selections or click on graph records.

* NOTES
Scroll container needs to get first crack at scroll events, thus the high z-index. But we should look at forwarding other mouse events to underlying elements.

r- because it doesn't fix the bug when I tested it. I can't make a selection by starting the drag where the scroll bar is positioned.

When I look at the DOM, removing the z-index on the scroll container allows me to make the selection but not interact with a visible scroll bar. Is it possible that we can pump up the z-index only when the scroll bar is visible and being hovered?

Please use WebInspector.Rect.prototype.intersectionWithRect and friends.

Yikes! I was just checking that I could click within the ruler to select frames, which wasn't previously possible either without a hack.

I'll look into this.

I meant click within the scrollbar.
