REGRESSION (Safari 4.0-> Safari 4.0.4) NPP_SetWindow no longer sets a clipRect of (0,0,0,0) when it becomes hidden

[Kevin Decker]

When a Core Animation plug-in moves to a background tab or becomes minimized/hidden offscreen, it's supposed to provide the plug-in with a zero'd out clipRect. This is critically important for for CPU usage/power saving as the plug-in can throttle the timers in this case.

This comment would be clearer if the parenthesized clause were part of the sentence.

Same here.

You should clean up the style of this while you’re moving it -- move the declaration of view in to the loop, remove the explicit comparison with nil, and the extra braces.

Same here with the explicit comparison with nil.

WebKit style for this is "!window" rather than "window == nil". But I know you just moved this.

Also, WebKit style does not put braces around things like "return YES".

Also, superviewsHaveSuperviews is a strangely named method you moved here. What the code implements is a check of whether this view is inside the contentView. It could be done more easily with -[NSView isDescendantOf:] -- we would not have to write a loop at all.

Patch seems fine, r=me too
