We want to be able to build Desktop UIs without using XUL. Bug 1118134 introduces a way to draw HTML in the titlebar. If we draw in the titlebar, the native titlebar doesn't exist anymore, and we lose the window dragging function. In XUL, we can do: > #foo { > -moz-window-dragging: drag; > } Then the user can drag the window from the #foo. The magic happens here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/xul/nsBoxFrame.cpp#1337 http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/base/nsDisplayList.cpp#1237 So I believe it's just a matter of calling AdjustWindowDraggingRegion in HTML code instead of XUL code.

Attached patch WIP (obsolete) — — Splinter Review
Just a quick hack. It appears to work. Markus, is that the right way to do it? I had to ignore canvasFrames. It's the anonymous content frame, right? Without that, it doesn't work. Next steps: only enable this if we are in the top level window and if it's a certified app.
Attachment #8544544 - Flags: feedback?(mstange)
We should be smarter about when to enable/disable this feature. We should allow this feature for non-top level windows. The draggable areas will be defined in the system & browser apps. And we should make it possible for certified app to not be slowed down by this feature. A couple of options: 1) Allow window-dragging:drag if certified app, and <html draggable> 2) Allow window-dragging:drag if certified app, and draggable permission 3) Allow window-dragging:drag if certified app, and document embed in a <iframe mozallowwindowdrag> 4) Allow window-dragging:drag if content window flagged from privileged code (contentWindow.setDraggable(true)) Fabrice, a recommendation?
Flags: needinfo?(fabrice)
The naive way I would do that: Add a method to presContext. presContext->SetIsDraggable(bool). Set it from nsDOMWindowUtils (accessible in JS from privileged code). What is the life time of a presContext compared to a docshell? It doesn't survive a reload, and it gets destroyed if the viewer is hidden, right?
Comment on attachment 8544544 [details] [diff] [review] WIP What exactly happens if you drop the canvasFrame check? Also, if you add this call here you'll need to remove the corresponding nsBoxFrame one, otherwise AdjustWindowDraggingRegion will be called twice for XUL frames.

In my tiny test (just running shell.html without Gaia, with * {window-drag:drag}): I was getting 4 calls to mWindowDraggingRegion.OrWith(borderBox), followed by 4 calls to mWindowDraggingRegion.SubOut(borderBox); The SubOut were all triggered by Canvas(html) frames. But now I think about it, maybe these canvas elements were created by some code in shell.html. Not sure… Frame dump: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/8165266
nsFrame::nsFrame could call presContext->IsDraggable(), which would return docShell->isBrowserOrApp(), or something a bit more fancy (see comment 2). I guess that would work.

Markus, do you think it's reasonable to allow drag for all the certified apps? If not, does it make sense to follow the allowfullscreen mechanism? (see http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp#2534)

I think so... but I can't really imagine the use cases. I understand that firefox.html needs it, and that the B2G emulator needs to have *some* draggable space once the titlebar is hidden. But I don't know why B2G apps would want to have parts of themselves draggable. Aren't they intended for phones? Draggability doesn't make sense in a phone context. Or are we planning to provide a solution for native-looking desktop webapps?

Attached patch v0.1 (obsolete) — — Splinter Review
(Still early draft) So I went for option 4: `docshell.windowDragAllowed = true/false`. Set to true by default for chrome docshells. Always false for non-desktop builds. Appears to work well at least for B2G desktop. But it doesn't work for sub windows (the app is in an iframe, so 2 windows). I need some guidance here. We can build a draggingRegion for the content window (the app). The dragging region is used in `nsLayoutUtils::PaintFrame` with `widget->UpdateWindowDraggingRegion()`. Is that supposed to also update the dragging region of the native window?

I don't know if a property on the docshell is the best security model here, and unfortunately I don't know who'd know the answer. Maybe we should do something similar to how allowfullscreen works? There seems to be an iframe attribute and an nsIPermissionManager-type permission for it... About the patch: Mostly looks good, but you really don't want to add a field to nsIFrame. There are lots of nsIFrames alive at any time, so you'd waste a lot of memory. If you need to cache the flag for performance reasons, better cache it in nsPresContext. Getting the prescontext from the frame should be fast.
Comment on attachment 8546482 [details] [diff] [review] v1 bz might know. Boris, we want to allow `-moz-window-dragging:drag` for HTML content, for content docshell. We are looking for the right way to dynamically enable this property. In attachment 8546482 [details] [diff] [review], I introduce a flag in the docshell. Markus is suggesting to do something similar to how allowfullscreen works. What would you recommend?
Attachment #8546482 - Flags: review?(mstange) → feedback?(bzbarsky)
So the earlier comments talk about this state per-window. Do you want it per-(inner)-window ore per-docshell? What should happen to the ability to trigger moz-window-dragging when the docshell is navigated, for example?

In that case, the docshell attribute makes sense. The allowfullscreen stuff iirc wants to decide based on site and so forth, which is why it has a permission.
Attached patch v2 (obsolete) — — Splinter Review
Markus, is that better? I kept the docshell property as per comment 22. Also, it doesn't appear to work with `position:absolute` elements. Any idea why?

> Also, it doesn't appear to work with `position:absolute` elements. Any idea > why? It seems to work for me. I applied your patch, removed the "if (PresContext()->GetWindowDraggingAllowed())" check for testing purposes, added "-moz-window-dragging: drag; position: absolute; top: 0;" to the "main h1" rule on https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/?oldversion=35.0 using the inspector, and was successfully able to drag the "Thank you for using Firefox Nightly" string. Are you sure that there's no transform involved in the thing you're testing on?
Comment on attachment 8549406 [details] [diff] [review] v2 Review of attachment 8549406 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- This looks good, but I'm going to go back on my previous suggestion because I now have something better in mind. Instead of caching mDraggingAllowed in the PresContext, we can cache it in the DisplayListBuilder, and only update it in Enter/LeavePresShell. There you could get the value from the PresContext and have that directly ask the DocShell every time, or you could access the DocShell directly in Enter/LeavePresShell and leave the PresContext completely out of the equation. Not sure what works better, you'll need to try it out.

Markus, re-asking you to review this patch as I'm not confident with the ::LeavePresShell() change. For a reason I ignore, calling `pc->GetDocShell()->GetWindowDraggingAllowed` after `ResetMarkedFramesForDisplayList()/SetLength()` crashes Firefox. Moving it above appears to work. But I'm really not familiar with this code.

Flags: needinfo?(paul) → needinfo?(bzbarsky)
Window dragging is implemented at the widget level. The widget knows about the draggable region because layout calls nsIWidget::SetWindowDraggableRegion. nsChildView (which is Mac-only) is the only nsIWidget implementation that actually does something in response to nsIWidget::SetWindowDraggableRegion. On Gonk we don't have nsChildView so allowing window dragging won't have any effect. So I think we should allow it everywhere.

For a reason I ignore, calling > `pc->GetDocShell()->GetWindowDraggingAllowed` after > `ResetMarkedFramesForDisplayList()/SetLength()` crashes Firefox. Oh, right. If you exit the outermost presshell, you're probably not allowed to call CurrentPresContext(), since mPresShellStates will be empty. Is the crash fixed if you guard the two lines I suggested with !mPresShellStates.IsEmpty()? > Moving it above appears to work. Well, that would give us the value for the presshell we just left. But that's not the one we want.
I think comment 31 answers the question you were asking?

So you changed this from determining the default value of docShell.windowDraggingAllowed to determining the only allowed value of the property. Both approaches have merit, I guess.

Looking at try, it hits this assert: > Assertion failure: referenceFrame == mReferenceFrame (referenceFrameToRootReferenceFrame needs to be adjusted), at /builds/slave/try-osx64-d-000000000000000000/build/src/layout/base/nsDisplayList.cpp:1271 Markus, any idea what's wrong?

Not really, would have to debug.

The assertion comes from bug 1104036 you recently fixed. Why is the assertion useful? Asking because with an opt build, everything appears to work fine. I'm wondering when we hit this assertion. We removed the 'IsInSubdocument()' check, but this is done by mWindowDraggingAllowed, which is false for sub documents. So I don't understand why we would hit this assertion with Firefox Desktop.

I found the bug. We were calling AdjustWindowDraggingRegion from the wrong place, such that IsInTransform() wasn't returning the right result.
