In order to properly handle CSS clipping, we need to keep track of what
the different kinds of clips that we have. On one hand, clipping due to
overflow rules should respect the containing block hierarchy, while CSS
clipping should respect the flow tree hierarchy. In order to represent
the complexity of items that are scrolled via one clip/scroll frame and
clipped by another we keep track of that status with a
ClipAndScrollInfo.
Just use WebRender's ClipId directly. This will allow us to create and
use ReferenceFrames in the future, if we need to do that. It will also
make it easier to have Servo responsible for creating the root
scrolling area, which will allow removing some old hacks in the future.
Sometimes clippy gets outdated by months, and its current support setup
means that each Servo component need to opt into it by depending on
the plugins crate manually, and not all components do that.
Instead annotate all flows with their owning ScrollRoots. When
processing the display list items into a flattened display list, we add
PushScrollRoot and PopScrollRoot to signal when scrolling regions start
and end. It is possible for content from different scrolling regions to
intersect and when they do, the stack of scrolling regions is
duplicated. When these duplicated scrolling regions stacks reach
WebRender, it will scroll them in tandem.
The PushScrollRoot and PopScrollRoot items are currently represented as
StackingContexts in WebRender, but eventually these will be replaced
with special WebRender display items.
Fixes#13529.
Fixed#13298.
This is a step in disassociating scrolling areas from stacking
contexts. Now scroll areas are defined by unique ids, which means that
in the future stacking context will be able to contain more than one.
Layers were a feature of the legacy drawing path. If we re-add them at
some point, it probably makes more sense to make them a product of
display list inspection.
This change also remove a bunch of dead painting code.
This removes paint threads, rust-layers dependency, and changes
optional webrender types to be required.
The use_webrender option has been removed, however I've left
the "-w" command line option in place so that wpt
runner can continue to pass that. Once it's removed from there
we can also remove the -w option.
Once this stage is complete, it should be fine to change the
display list building code to generate webrender display
lists directly and avoid the conversion step.
WebRender.
This happens asynchronously, just as it does in non-WebRender mode.
This functionality is a prerequisite for doing proper display-list-based
hit testing in WebRender, since it moves the scroll offsets into Servo
(and, specifically, into the script thread, enabling iframe event
forwarding) instead of keeping them private to WebRender.
Requires servo/webrender_traits#55 and servo/webrender#277.
Partially addresses #11108.
set to be scrolled.
This makes them establish stacking contexts, which is a CSS 2.1 spec
violation. However, we were already violating the spec here for
absolutely-positioned elements with `overflow: scroll`. It will probably
be easier to fix this spec violation once we either switch entirely to
WebRender or we have multiple layers per stacking context.
Closes#2742.
Instead of producing a tree of stacking contexts, display list
generation now produces a flat list of display items and a tree of
stacking contexts. This will eventually allow display list construction
to produce and modify WebRender vertex buffers directly, removing the
overhead of display list conversion. This change also moves
layerization of the display list to the paint thread, since it isn't
currently useful for WebRender.
To accomplish this, display list generation now takes three passes of
the flow tree:
1. Calculation of absolute positions.
2. Collection of a tree of stacking contexts.
3. Creation of a list of display items.
After collection of display items, they are sorted based upon the index
of their parent stacking contexts and their position in CSS 2.1
Appendeix E stacking order.
This is a big change, but it actually simplifies display list generation.
