There are currently cases where the block code dispatches a full-fledged Reflow
to one of its children where simply ``sliding'' the position of the child frame
would do. For example, attachment 47296 [details] from bug 55086 illustrates a case where
this can happen. Although the table code recognizes this case and optimizes for
it, it must maintain extra state to do so, and there may be other frames that do
not (and possibly could not) optimize for these situations.

Detailed analysis probably ought to wait for dbaron's work on state recovery.
Depends on: 86947
Blocks: 71668
Target Milestone: mozilla1.0 → mozilla0.9.7
I'm futuring this bug because I'm not going to get to it before mozilla-1.0.
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.7 → Future
Is this bug still valid ? It depended on bug 86947 and the example triggering it
was from bug 55086


dupe of, dependent on, or blocking bug 72046 ?
