Attached patch WIP (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Prototype patch. TODO: non-e10s support, smooth scrolling support, fix scrollbars, pixel delta mode support[?]

Works on e10s, but scrollbars aren't drawing.
(In reply to David Anderson [:dvander] from comment #0)
> Works on e10s, but scrollbars aren't drawing.

That's bug 1013377.
We should definitely sort out the implications of wheel events being cancelable before proceeding using this approach. Will it break web content if we start scrolling unconditionally now?
Absolutely. For example it would make zoomable maps that are embedded on scrollable pages very hard to use. (E.g. here: http://www.trivoo.net/google-maps/ )
Attached patch win-apz-baseline.patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
With bug 1092450 and bug 1076192 this basically works, so might as well try to get it in pref'd off for now. To turn it on there is still more work to do:
 * Experiment more with how it performs, there are mobile behaviors/heuristics that might not make sense for Desktop.
 * The smooth scrolling animation in APZ seems to be slightly different than the one on the main thread, like the main thread might be scrolling by twice the line height.
 * The hit testing/event region patches are needed so we handle events properly.

When e10s is disabled, and apzc is enabled, you still get apz - but it doesn't buy you much since events are still blocked on content. If we want to try for apz without e10s, we could look into something hacky with SetWindowsHookEx.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't look at the nsWindow.* changes at all (you could even split them into a separate patch if you want). The APZ changes mostly look good, but there's enough comments that I'd like to see a new version. Note that the code entangles with the changes in bug 1090398 and a little bit with bug 1055741. Nothing serious but if either of those lands first you should rebase on top and make sure stuff still builds.

This shouldn't be needed. There is already a check in ::OverscrollBy that should be disabling overscroll if it is not enabled. This codepath should only be used when handing off a fling from an inner scrollable frame to an outer scrollable frame, which is still desirable here I imagine.

delta[XY] shouldn't be interpreted as a CSSPoint here. If you do it this way you'll scroll less when zoomed out. It should be a ScreenPoint (which you can then convert to a CSSPoint for the purposes of setting the smooth scroll offset).

win32 changes look familiar from my work with apzc in metro land, although it's been a while.

Are we checking return results here? When I tackled this ages ago I did a little write up on what I ran into -

re: the content event problems - yeah, this patch has that problem, so we can't turn this on by default. kats' hit testing/event region work should lead to fixing those problems.

I haven't looked at the framerate yet, but definitely compositor scrolling does not feel as smooth as DOM scrolling. I'm hoping to look into that in a separate bug.

This path never goes through OverscrollBy, it uses OverscrollAnimation.

Hmm... it appears I accidentally removed the conditioning of overscroll-during-a-fling on APZOverscrollEnabled() in bug 1066888. Whoops!

I'll fix that in a follow-up to bug 1066888, and then you shouldn't need this here.
APZ changes, with review comments addressed. I kept the overscroll check until that follow-up fix lands, since otherwise scrolling behaves really weird.

This will need to be rebased on top of bug 1055741 which is on inbound now. And actually the rebasing is not as trivial as I thought before, as it breaks how you implement the wheel scroll using pan gesture events. It's still fixable though - see my comments below.

Instead of adding this, you can change the existing one for mozilla::gfx::IntSize to be templated so that it looks like the one for mozilla::gfx::SizeTyped<T>. That will cover LayoutDeviceIntSize as well as other cases (including mozilla::gfx::IntSize, which is just a typedef to IntSizeTyped<UnknownUnits>).

You can split this bit out into a new bug if you don't want to wait for Botond to do it.

So this won't work as-is after bug 1055741, because APZCTreeManager is responsible for populating the mLocal versions of the pan start point and pan displacement, which are the ones that actually get used in OnPan. Here you are populating the ScreenPixel versions which will be ignored, and so OnPan will have no effect.

I believe that you want deltaX and deltaY to be interpreted directly as ParentLayerPixels here and populate the pan gesture's mLocalPanDisplacement with that. The mLocalPanStartPoint should be populated from the mLocalOrigin (which you will need to add) from the wheel event.

Isn't the x axis flipped too? Your comments in InputData.h have the deltaX and deltaY as being "consistent" (i.e. > 0 means the scroll offset needs to reduce on that axis). For the record I would prefer if you had it the other way (i.e. > 0 means the scroll offset needs to increase on that axis) and negate it if necessary when creating the input event in the widget code.

Post bug-1055741 I believe this should look like:

// We want to scroll the same proportion of the composition bounds

CSSPoint delta = ParentLayerPoint(deltaX, -deltaY) / mFrameMetrics.GetZoom();

Thanks for the tips on how to rebase this. The only thing I'm not sure about is this change. The line height is always computed in device pixels, so if there's an apzc scale of 3, but user zoom of 1, the line height will be off by a factor of 3. It seems like we'd have to factor the two zooms separately.

r+ with comments addressed. Based on the IRC discussion (which I'll attach to the bug in a sec, for future reference) we're leaving the scroll amount like this for now as it more closely matches what layout already does with scroll wheel events, but we might change it in the future.

This will need a small rebase on top of bug 1090398 which is on inbound (sorry, you must really hate me right now!).

1) &inOverscrolledApzc here needs to become &hitResult
2) Just inside the if (apzc) block add a MOZ_ASSERT(hitResult == ApzcHitRegion || hitResult == ApzcContentRegion);
3) The call mInputQueue->ReceiveInputEvent will have an extra parameter as argument #2: /* aTargetConfirmed = */ hitResult == ApzcHitRegion

Replace this ScreenPoint(deltaX, deltaY) with ToScreenCoordinates(delta, aEvent.mLocalOrigin) for more correctness.

This is bad. Which modifier causes what action depends on prefs. So, you should check prefs for this purpose.
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/events/EventStateManager.cpp?rev=ee9403c598d6#5210

I think that EventStateManager::WheelPrefs should be renamed as MouseWheelPrefs and it should be accessible from both widget/ and dom/events.
