Description Nickolay 2010-05-18 04:46:32 PDT
Attaching the test case. It fails in Chrome for Linux (5.0.375.3 dev) and Safari for Windows (4.0.5 531.22.7). Works in FF 3.6 and IE7

Steps to reproduce:

Test case contains a long text with 2 buttons near the bottom. Scroll the window to those buttons, so that vertical scrollbar will have some non-zero "scrollTop" value.

Then press "mask", "unmask" (add/remove "overflow : hidden !important" CSS rule). After that the vertical scroll bar position will be reset to the top, though the content
of the viewable area won't change. If you start scrolling, scrolling will begin from top. 

Expected behavior is that position of the scroll bar should be preserved as it was before clicking "mask" (works in FF, IE)

Safari 5.0 (6533.16) on Mac

I encountered an instance of this same bug in a different context.  On a block div with "overflow:hidden" as default but "overflow:auto" on hover, the scrollbar jumps back to the top when the user hovers out and then back over the div again.  The content of the div jumps back up only when the user starts to scroll.

Firefox exhibits the behavior that I would expect; Opera exhibits a completely different behavior.  In Firefox, the scrollbar remains in the previous place on the second hover.

I will attach a test case to demonstrate.

Example div using overflow:auto on hover

This is an example div with "overflow:hidden" and "overflow:auto" on hover.
Comment 5 SFFC 2010-06-25 23:43:20 PDT
To clarify, this bug still exists in the newest build, 534.2+ (r61924)
Comment 6 SFFC 2010-07-26 00:19:58 PDT
On a side note, the overflow:hidden to overflow:auto swap is now being used by major sites like Google.  Search for an image on Google Images and then make your browser window "shorter" (i.e. so it has not much height).  Now, hover over the left panel (the one with links for "Everything", "Images", "Shopping", "More", "Any size", etc).  A scrollbar appears.  Scroll down, hover out of the area, and then over it again.  Lo and behold, bug 39284 rears its ugly head.
Comment 7 Robin Qiu 2010-09-08 20:14:00 PDT
I'm going to have a look at this bug, hope I can fix it.
Comment 8 Robin Qiu 2010-09-10 00:41:58 PDT
It seems caused by this block of code:

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/rendering/RenderLayer.cpp#L2086

m_hBar calls setValue() while m_vBar doesn't and the comment here is strange....

I added setValue() for m_vBar and this bug was fixed, however, it brought some regressions in layout tests.

This bug was reported for Chrome 5, and its still active even that now I'm using Chrome 10.

Someone, please fix it.
Comment 11 Nickolay 2011-03-23 03:39:33 PDT
The similar problems arise, when the container of the <div> with scroller gets "display" style changed.

See: Bug 18017 and Bug 25835
Comment 12 Robin Qiu 2011-04-02 01:20:31 PDT
I found the root cause and made a patch which worked well and passed the layout test. Going to write a layout test case.

Yes, this test case works all right in the latest code.
However, the test cases attached still don't work.

Hi Robin

Just a few observations (I don't know about Scrollbar, so no official review).

The ChangeLogs usually have a different format, for example:

        [Texmap][Qt] Enable TextureMapper by default
        https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61740

        Make CONFIG+=texmap an opt-out instead of an opt-in.

I didn't find in the style guide that it must be like that, but why not stick to it?

What about calling offsetDidChange instead? It also adjusts the thumb.
Cheers,

Rob.

OK. I'll modify the changelog. 
The patch is platform independent, so, I guess it's not necessary to add a tag like [Qt]? 

> What about calling offsetDidChange instead? It also adjusts the thumb.

offsetDidChange() also updates the thumb and do some painting, but here, we only need to initialize current position.

Could you rebase your patch against ToT, so we can move it forward? Thanks

what platform was this result generated at? I think you will have different platform with different font-pixel values here.

Hi, Antonio,
Thanks for your review.

I generated this result in linux-Qt platform. How can I avoid font influence? Setting explicit margin?

Yes. This test case can only be tested by pixel test. So I dump an empty line by calling dumpAsTest() to avoid platform font differences.
