Bug 79611 – Be more restrictive when adding ScrollableArea's to FrameView's ScrollableArea's map

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

[Antonio Gomes]

We add all FrameView's at the time they get added to the FrameView thee, and all RenderLayer's whose associated RenderBox has been set as "has overflow clip", no matter if it has a scrollable area de-facto or not.

Lets fix it...

[Antonio Gomes]

ok, patch coming with tests.

patch v1

Patch introduces a way to only cache actually scrollable ScrollableArea-derivated instances (FrameView and RenderLayer).

For example, the added layout test counts for 36 scrollable areas with the patch and around 90 without it. For real world webpages, I tested many ones, including cnn.com main page, where it went from 11 scrollable areas cached to 0 (given that it has nothing actually scrollable, other than the mainframe).

This level of accuracy, allows ports to use this information for in-region scroll target detection logic, etc.

I think ScrollableAreasSet should be ScrollableAreaSet, and the update function sshould be named accordingly. Also, the same thing goes for scrollableAreasCount.

> Source/WebCore/page/FrameView.cpp:2564
> +void FrameView::updateScrollableAreasSet()
> +{

This function seems overly complicated, can't we just check that the frame view has either a vertical or horizontal scrollbar?

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderLayer.cpp:4416
> +void RenderLayer::updateScrollableAreasSet()
> +{

Same question here, can't we just check for scrollbars?

I like numberOfScrollableAreas for this kind of thing.

That is exactly why I went with this mode detailed implementation. Ports can avoid scrollbars completely at FrameView creation time. So checking the presence of scrollbars would not be enough. That is why in the frameview method I explicitly checked for:

- #1 contentsize > visiblesize

- if #1 is true, we then check #2 if the web content specifies anything that prevents scrolling, for example overflow:hidden, scrolling=no, etc.

Although, I agree the logic could be simpler.

Here, simplifying is easier.

@Sam/Anders: Made both updateScrollableAreaSet simpler, but as I explained in comment #10, just checking scrollbars is not enough, since ports can disable them at FrameView creation.

Also made the renames you guys suggested.

[Antonio Gomes]

@Anders/Sam: Would you guys have a moment for another review round?

Logic looks reasonable but the testing needs to be better to feel confident with this patch.

the script thinks you are misusing shouldBe() and I think it's right - you should be doing something like shouldBe("result", "36");  the script eval()s both sides and then compares them.

<!DOCTYPE html>

this test is very fragile - if you have an even number of off-by-one errors in the calculations used below, this test would still pass. could you break it out into one test per interesting condition (for instance, one dedicated test for a visibility:hidden iframe with normal content and another for visibility:visible iframe with hidden content)

what's 4?

what happened to 2?

Made each relevant case a test.

Fixed throughout the new patch.

Fixed by making each "use case" a test.

Changes from v3.1:

-Fixed chromium reported issues with layout tests.
-added a test to check that dynamic changes to the overflow proper properly updates the set.
-added change in FrameView::updateScrollableAreaSet to remove itself from its parent when it fails to the following condition:
  if (!owner || !owner->renderer() || !owner->renderer()->visibleToHitTesting())
previously it was just bailing our earlier.
