1351676 - Windows media queries and system metrics are broken in e10s content processes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

[:Gijs (out for now; he/him)]

STR:

1. on Windows 10, using a non-high-contrast theme, evaluate this in the web console:

matchMedia("(-moz-windows-default-theme)")

ER:
an object with matches: true. (Compare evaluating the same thing in the browser console)

AR:
an object with matches: false.

This breaks video controls CSS and possibly other in-content styling we'd like to do.

On OS X, matchMedia("(-moz-mac-yosemite-theme)") returns the correct result in the content process, so I assume this is a Windows issue. Not sure if this is layout or widget brokenness, but either way.

Dan, do you know who could look into fixing this?

Since this is only an issue on Windows, it's very likely a Windows-widget issue. The layout/style code for system media queries just calls out to abstract platform-specific LookAndFeel::GetInt() code, here (highlighting the chunks for the metrics you mentioned):
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/272ce6c2572164f5f6a9fba2a980ba9ccf50770c/layout/style/nsCSSRuleProcessor.cpp#1114-1118,1125-1128


That ^^ goes through the windows nsLookAndFeel.cpp switch statement, which calls into a getter for this bool:
  nsUXThemeData::sIsDefaultWindowsTheme
...which is set in nsUXThemeData::UpdateNativeThemeInfo()
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/272ce6c2572164f5f6a9fba2a980ba9ccf50770c/widget/windows/nsUXThemeData.cpp#304

So my initial guess is that something is horked in that function (though it could also be correct and we're dropping its value on the floor somewhere).

Looks like jimm has "hg blame" on some of the UpdateNativeThemeInfo() code, so I'll punt to him.

Still need to look into tests for this.

Comment 4

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

Looked into tests, I think I'll punt. The theme id value is largely obsolete now since everything post Vista is aero except when you're running an accessible theme, which I can't tweak on slaves. Everything is a default theme on our slaves so that value never changes either.

Mike, I think you put this cache together for the e10s project. Can you review?

Interesting, these are TEST-UNEXPECTED-PASS. I think this patch may have simply fixed bug 1254832.
