1901652 - The hypothetical box of fixed positioned elements accounted the root scrollbar-gutter on the left twice

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Positioned, defect, P3)

Description

[Ting-Yu Lin [:TYLin] (PST, UTC-8)]

Attachment: Testcase 1

This bug was somewhat exposed after bug 728807. With scrollbar-gutter: stable both-edges set on the root element, the hypothetical box position of fixed-pos elements accounts the scrollbar-gutter twice.

I think we need to change this part of the code https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/46d0387f0b582f00a5722c20d4e6b8693793631b/layout/generic/ReflowInput.cpp#1422-1426. When aCBReflowInput->mFrame is root frame, we need to get the scrollbar size and tweak cbOffset, similar to https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/46d0387f0b582f00a5722c20d4e6b8693793631b/layout/style/nsComputedDOMStyle.cpp#2009-2019

Attachment: Bug 1901652 Part 1 - Clean up for CalculateHypotheticalPosition. r?#layout

Remove unused nsPresContext and LayoutFrameType parameters in
InitAbsoluteConstraints() and CalculateHypotheticalPosition() (except for
one usage in NS_ASSERTION).

Improve the documentation for CalculateHypotheticalPosition() and delete the
nearly the same documentation before its definition in ReflowInput.cpp.

In InitAbsoluteConstraints(), we don't need to initialize the offsets local
variable via ComputedLogicalOffsets() since this is the function computing the
offset, and we'll set the four sides of offsets later in the function.

Attachment: Bug 1901652 Part 2 - Implement GetScrollTargetFrame() for ViewportFrame. r?#layout

nsIFrame provides GetScrollTargetFrame() for getting the scroll container
child under a frame. We can implement this for ViewportFrame so that callers
don't need to get the first child and then downcast.

Attachment: Bug 1901652 Part 2 - Fix hypothetical position for fixed-pos elements when scrollbar-gutters are on both edges. r?#layout

We have similar adjustments in ViewportFrame::AdjustReflowInputForScrollbars()
and nsComputedDOMStyle::GetUsedAbsoluteOffset.

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (privacy/fingerprinting team)]

Because of the severity and priority rating, I'm marking this fix-optional for current releases, since the team is aware and has rated the issue.
While we are happy to take a patch, and uplift if it's requested, we don't need to keep looking at the bug in weekly regression triage.

I'll let this ride the trains because scrollbar-gutter: stable both-edges is rare.
