We're splitting bug 1199885 into several parts. This will track all the work required to get it turn on by default.

Do you guys think it's worth filing a new parent bug to this one about webcompat.com issue #4664? Basically, when dragging the scrollbar quickly enough, there are blank content-areas for the given URL, but it doesn't result in breakage (it seems to basically just be checkerboarding). It only seems to happen when dragging the scrollbar, and it doesn't happen when apz.drag.enabled is off. I'm just not sure if that would mean it's related to this bug specifically, or APZ checkboarding in general.

I think the checkerboarding-while-dragging-scrollbar is mostly covered by bug 1251617. Even though that cites a specific URL it's a more general issue. Feel free to link that bug up to the webcompat issue.

This is general APZ checkerboarding. If you scroll sufficient fast with other APZ input methods (mouse wheel, touchpad, touchscreen), you see it as well. I don't think there's a need to file a bug specifically for that site.

Given the number of issues reported in the last few days for this feature I'm inclined to hold off on letting it ride the trains in 55, unless a significant number of the issues are fixed. (I'm assuming that won't happen because we don't have a lot of time to work on it). Bug 1355374 and bug 1355376 in particular seem rather bad, so if we're prioritizing fixes I would like to see those fixed first. The rest of the recent bugs seem to be largely related to scrollbar painting and motion off by a pixel which I suspect all have the same root cause.

Also for the record - given that most of the issues have been fixed since I wrote comment 5, I'm fine with letting this ride the trains in 55.
