1178743 - Event region on the compositor should be updated when apz-aware listeners are added or removed to the DOM

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1131188

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

See bug 1177651 comment 6 for backstory. There is a test (test_moz_mouse_pixel_scroll_event.html) which fires a mouse wheel event and also does a prevent default on that event. The very first time this happens in the test the prevent default has no effect because APZ doesn't wait for the wheel event listener. This, in turn, happens because the listener is registered just prior to the wheel event dispatch and the event regions on the compositor side don't get updated in time (that only happens on a repaint). In this case it doesn't break the test, but it may cause intermittent failures in other tests - if we want this scenario to work properly, we should trigger some sort of flush when APZ-aware listeners are added to/removed from the DOM, to push the updated event regions over to the compositor.
