Review of attachment 754868 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I think we should still keep `ui.showHideScrollbars` as there is still one usage of it:

This stuff is sitting in my patch queue for a long time. It feels like turning it on again slow down panning because the scrollbar is repainted way too often.

Milan do you know who can have a look at it?

Steps to reproduce:
 - add pref("ui.showOverlayScrollbars", 1); in b2g/app/b2g.js
 - On the device go to Settings -> Informations -> More Informations -> Developer -> Show Repaints
 - Pan a little bit and observe that the scrollbar is repainted on every moves.

Seems like the perf issues are resolved with bug 813041
Depends on: 813041
Vivien, is the question still the same, after the comment 3?

Nope. Sorry I forgot to remove the needinfo.
Talked with rel man about this - given that bug 813041 has existed on 1.01 already, we can ship another release with it present again. However, given that scrollbars have always been present across apps in 1.01 & 1.1, we need to turn them back on again, as it's a regression otherwise to have them off. On that regard, I'm pulling the dependency on bug 813041, as we do not need to wait on bug 813041 landing to turn the prefs back on. I'm also noming this since we need this back on in the 1.2 timeframe.

We need bug 813041 because the perfs sucks without the patch there. Thanks for keeping the dependency which is one of the reason why I have not landed this patch.

Vivien based on conversation with :jason

a) We need to enable scrollbars in 1.2, since we have had them since 1.0.1 and we would definitely need it for various use-cases (I think we all agree here ?)
b) Your concern is that perf is impacted and is further worse in 1.2 if we enabled them(Correct ?). that's being tacked in 813041
c) Looks like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=813041#c13 the rebased patch works well. Is it just review away ? What's the risk there ?

We would need to block on both if you confirm that the perf is worse and the upcoming patch helping the perf is low risk.Can you confirm ?

I can not really tell for the risk for bug 813041. You may want to ask directly there, sorry :/
koi+ for regression.

This is tagged as depending on bug 813041 - if that is the case, that bug should be koi+ as well.
Sounds like this is in 1.2, so removing the "mozilla-central" from the summary to avoid confusion.

Sigh. Those are purely random since scrollbars appears automatically during reflows and dissapears after a while. So the image comparison depends on when the screenshot is done :(
I've added some random-if(B2G) and push to try to see if some other tests fails because of this randomess thing. https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=27b8e930b0da

humm. The more try tests I'm running the more random I see. I feel like this stuff may introduce a lot of random oranges just because the scrollbars are shown when there is a reflow and fades out with a timeout, that obviously is hard to get identical between the page and the reference page. :/

Not sure what's the best solution here. I more or less considering to disable this prefs during reftests (if doable).
Maybe my best chance is to fix those randoms by running tons of try builds and once there are green multiple times then this is good. :(

This run is Green https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=ba7b77619dd9

I will re-run just to make sure to catch more random oranges.

Really, scrollbars appear just because we did a reflow? I thought user interaction was required to trigger scrollbars on B2G. Is scrollbars appearing because we did a reflow desired behavior for some reason?

I think this is desireable from a UX point of view. It allows scrollbars to be displayed when a scrollable area is just created on the screen, letting the user knows that he/she can pan.

At least this has been the rationale until today. I will land this patch and check with UX if this is something they want to change or not.
