1432341 - Drawing of the column-rule is incorrect for the fragments of an inner multicol in nested multicols.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Neerja Pancholi[:neerja]]

Attachment: ColumnRuleDrawingBroken.html

Open the attached test case ColumnRuleDrawingBroken.html in Nightly. You will see that the column-rules for the inner multicol fragments are extended beyond the size of the multicol.

These column-rules are not drawn at all on Firefox 57.

Attachment: Bug 1432341 - Draw column-rules with border-code in box-decoration-break: clone mode, rather than slice.

This fixes the bug.  The underlying problem was that we were hitting the
case where ConstructBorderRenderer sets aNeedsClip to true, but nothing
in the column-rule drawing path was honoring that.

(Choosing clone rather than slice may make a difference for dotted and
dashed column-rules, but I think the clone behavior is preferable.)

Attachment: Bug 1432341 - Add reftest for column-rule broken across columns.

I tested locally that the reftest fails without the previous patch, and
passes with it.  The failure is because the column rules overflow (as
though they're drawn in each column for the entire extent of the inner
columnset rather than just the piece visible in that column, i.e.,
overflowing only below in the first column, above and below in the
second column, and only above in the third column).

I agree that the clone behaviour is preferable here!
