235669 - No reflow during window movement

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Markus Hübner]

There are three small testcases at
http://www.manni.org/techlab/mapgapwindow/holeGapWindow.html
In all three testcases there is no reflow happening during window movement.
This works fine in MSIE / Opera / Safari

Using trunk build 2004022509 on win-xp sp1

Have to correct - the first testcase (holeWindow) works - where the movement 
of the window is triggered by JavaScript.

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

First rule of filing bugs. List clear steps to reproduce (including which of
Mozilla's preferences have to be set to which values to reproduce), clearly list
what the expected behavior is.

Call me when you've done that; until then, I'd just be wasting my time.

[Markus Hübner]

There have to be set no specific rules - this is just per default.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Go to http://www.manni.org/techlab/mapgapwindow/holeGapWindow.html
2) Click on "mapWindow"
3) A new window is opened - now move this window around 

Expected behaviour:
When moving the window - there should be a reflow also during the movement of 
the window ... not just when the window is at its final position.

I have no idea how you tell whether a reflow happens, but when I move the
windows around, the contents of the window does move.
(although this is on linux/gtk2+xft, metacity as window manager)

Works fine for me on Linux trunk, but visible on Mac OS X Firefox 0.8.

Test case page is 404, and archive.org doesn't have it
