This means that font size inflation will be consistent into a container
with overflow!=visible, which fixes inflation bugs on phoronix.com (bug
747720) and reddit.com (bug 748446, but currently covered up by bug
756518).
If the current scroll position is fractional, e.g. y=N.4 CSS pixels, and something tries to read the
position in CSS pixels and scroll to that position (e.g. calling window.scrollTo(0, rootElem.scrollTop),
or equivalently window.scrollBy(0, 0)), it can actually end up scrolling backwards. So create a new
method nsIScrollableFrame::ScrollToCSSPixels which ensures that scrolling to a CSS pixel offset tries to
preserve the current fractional scroll position if that's possible, and if that's not possible at least does
not allow the scroll position to move in the wrong direction.
There was a subtle reftest failure on Mac in RTL text-overflow tests.
I tracked it down to RTL overflow:auto areas being automatically scrolled by a subpixel amount.
This was because we try to set scrollbar "curpos" attributes to an integer number of CSS pixels representing
the scroll amount, relative to the top-left of GetScrolledRect, which is a noninteger number of CSS pixels
in this case. Then in ReflowFinished() we scroll to the saved curpos values plus the top-left of GetScrolledRect.
This patch fixes the problem by making CurPosAttributeChanged pass an allowed scroll range to
ScrollToWithOrigin. We allow any scroll destination that, when rounded to CSS pixels, would give the same
value as "curpos".
This fixes the bug, ensuring that ReflowFinished's call to CurPosAttributeChanged will not normally need
to scroll because the current position will be in the acceptable range. Also, it means that code that
scrolls by setting the "curpos" attribute will be optimized to try to hit a layer pixel boundary.
This structure is per block formatting context because we have to make a
single inflation decision for things like consecutive runs of paragraphs
of text. Inflating some paragraphs and not others (within the same
sequence of adjacent paragraphs) based on the amount of text in each one
would be disastrous. Otherwise it's ideal for the units to be as small
as possible as long as they merge such sequences; therefore this uses a
definition corresponding to CSS's idea of elements that establish new
block formatting contexts.
Add an extra change hint, UpdateOverflow, that can be used to specify that
a frame's overflow areas may have changed and that they need to be recalculated.
When a transform on a frame changes, instead of marking it for reflow, set this
hint instead.
There is an added virtual function on nsIFrame, UpdateOverflow, which is called
recursively on a frame when the corresponding hint is set, to allow it to
update its overflow areas.
