1247800 - Need to investigate why transform or opacity animations in invisible elements run both on main-thread and compositor on Android

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Animation, defect)

Description

[Hiroyuki Ikezoe (:hiro)]

I notice this fast in bug 1235286 comment 16 first.  We should investigate it in further detail.

Comment 1

[Hiroyuki Ikezoe (:hiro)]

As of 2016/02/12 JST:

In scrolled out elements:
 * transform animations
  * keep running on compositor
  * consume almost half of frames (6 or 7 / 10 frames) for restyling

 * opacity animations
  * keep running on compositor
  * consume almost half of frames (6 or 7 / 10 frames) for restyling

In visibility:hidden elements:
 * transform animations
  * keep running on compositor
  * sometimes consume the first two or three frames for restyling

 * opacity animations
  * keep running on compositor
  * sometimes consume the first two or three frames for restyling

Today I noticed opacity animations in visibility:hidden elements do not consume compositor thread at all.

I've never checked which changeset fixed it, but we should enable a test in test_restyle.html as soon as possible.
Note that transform animations in visibility:hidden elements still consume compositor thread.

For my own references,  IIRC, we built nsDisplayOpacity/nsDisplayTransform in visibility:hidden elements both on desktop and Android before.  But now it seems that nsDisplayTransform in visibility:hidden is built only on Android. In all other cases display items are no longer built.

I will revisit this after we enabled stylo on Android.

Comment 9

[Hiroyuki Ikezoe (:hiro)]

test_restyles.html is getting more robust than before due to bug 1379515, bug 1421476, etc.

So I did push a try with enabling skipped test cases;

Yeah, the result looks pretty good.  Now it's the time to run the skipped test cases on Android too.

Hmm, we can't reuse this bug for the new patch, the new patch marked as if it got already r+.  I will open a new bug.

Closing since bug 1427868 has been fixed.
