Bug 273792 – REGRESSION(276079@main): [GTK] Web view content disappears after back/forward navigation

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Michael Catanzaro]

Reproducer:

 * Visit https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-05-06-24-intl-hnk/index.html in Epiphany
 * Enter reader mode
 * Click Back to return to the original page

The web view contents will be solid black. I'm using 278417@main with my personal jhbuild of Epiphany. This error does not occur in Epiphany Tech Preview, so it probably regressed sometime after 2.44.

This is bisectable. I should have a result soon.

[Michael Catanzaro]

OK, here is the bisect result. But note that the way in which this is broken changed at some point between here and now. Currently when you press Back, you go to a solid black web view. But as of the first bad commit, you go to back to a transparent web view. Something changed later on to change it from transparent to black. I should be able to bisect that if needed, but I'll assume it's not needed unless requested.

    [CoordinatedGraphics] Setting `LocalFrameView`'s content size should not require relayout
    https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270445
    
    Reviewed by Darin Adler.
    
    In `LocalFrameViewLayoutContext::performLayout()` we layout the render
    tree in several phases:
    
    - `LayoutPhase::InPreLayout`
    - `LayoutPhase::InRenderTreeLayout`
    - `LayoutPhase::InViewSizeAdjust`
    - `LayoutPhase::InPostLayout`
    
    In the last phase, we assert that the layout root doesn't require
    relayout after updating `LocalFrameView`'s content size.
    
    Currently, at the end of `LayerTreeHost::contentsSizeChanged()` we call
    `didChangeViewport()`, which in some circumstances (e.g. when fixed
    layout is used) can trigger
    `LocalFrameView::setViewportConstrainedObjectsNeedLayout()` and make
    `RenderView::needsLayout()` return `true`. This should not happen.
