1467688 - Style changes to perspective get their change hints ignored if the frame isn't also transformed.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

nsStyleDisplay::CalcDifference set 'hint |= nsChangeHint_NeutralChange;' if HasTransformStyle returns false (which is the case for just perspective), and so ignores any change hints we generated for a new/different perspective value.

Looks like this bug has existed since I first implemented perspective, the change hint checks were initially in an if (HasTransformStyle()) block.

Bug 1466954 has a crashtest that triggers this (and hits an RDL assertion).

FWIW, this is a crash report caused by the same reason. bp-16522335-6c5b-495b-928e-97fe40180613

Actually, the original description isn't quite right. The check for a changed value of HasPerspectiveStyle() sets the value of 'hint' and not 'transformHint', so it always applied.

The bug here is that we only generate nsChangeHint_UpdateContainingBlock in that case (since the check for changes to mChildPerspective *is* scoped to transformed frame) and not nsChangeHint_RepaintFrame.

The broken testcases are applying the new perspective to the document element (which is already a containing block for fixed elements), so it ends up being a no-op, and nothing invalidates for the newly added perspective.

We do have an existing testcase for the normal case of this (layout/reftests/w3c-css/submitted/transforms/perspective-containing-block-dynamic-1b.html) and that passes already.

I did now mostly same fix for this bug. :)

I think we can rewrite this if-else block like this;

```c++
  if (mChildPerspective != anewData.mChildPerspective) {
    hint |= nsChangeHint_UpdateOverflow |
            nsChangeHint_RepaintFrame;
    if (HasPerspectiveStyle()! = aNewData.HasPerspectiveStyle()) {
      hint |= nsChangeHint_UpdateContainingBlock;
    }
  }
```

Seems like it might be good to add a reftest rather than just a crashtest?

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/Bug causing the regression]: RDL
[User impact if declined]: Assertion crashes on Nightly/Dev Edition, potentially incorrect z-ordering on release (though usually temporary).
[Is this code covered by automated tests?]: Crashtest added.
[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: By me, yes
[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: No
[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: None
[Is the change risky?]: No
[Why is the change risky/not risky?]: Just adds extra style change hints to make sure we invalidate. Should never be a problem to hint too many changes.
[String changes made/needed]: None.
