1934039 - Some websites escape the corner clip from bug 1908471

Status: NEW

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, defect, P1)

Description

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

E.g. https://developer.apple.com/ escapes the corner, so does zoom video calls.

I bet it has to do with backdrop-filter because https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/backdrop-filter shows it but https://developer.mozilla.org/ doesn't.

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1908471

:nsharpley, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1908471, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

That's interesting! You're right, it looks like backdrop-filter doesn't respect the overflow: hidden rule of the parent browser and paints above it?...

I'm working on a solution similar to the snippet Markus posted in bug 1908471, comment 5. We might be able to use a mask, though it gets complicated with using the toolbar background... see attachment

Attachment: WIP: Bug 1934039 - Use a CSS mask to round content area corner

In bug 1908471 we used a border-radius, however some website use backdrop-filter for their
background which doesn't respect the overflow: hidden rule we added with the border-radius.

Using a neighbouring element as a mask resolves that issue.

WIP - still need to get IntersectionObserver working and update based on tabbrowser-tabbox
position and need to get mask appearance working for RTL mode and when the sidebar is positioned
at the end.

Emilio, is this something that can be fixed on the core side?

Ideally, yes. This seems clearly like a WebRender bug to me (that's why I filed it here rather than in the sidebar component)... Not familiar enough with our backdrop-filter implementation to know whether this can be fixed easily or not. But in any case if we decide to move to a mask I'd do it in a dependent bug (as this bug would still be valid).

Glenn do you know off-hand what might be going on? In order to see this, you can flip sidebar.revamp=true on Nightly.

I dont know if this relevant or not if not please ignore but I always used from this code for rounded browser frame and it never had any issues, I tried the linked websites and it looks fine.

https://github.com/KiKaraage/ArcWTF/blob/main/global/browser.css

The only lines I removed was 115-117 as it was causing pixelate corners.

We'll be evaluating this type of thing when we discuss sidebar needs with Sarah in Q1 2025.
