Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.1pre) Gecko/2008062922 Camino/2.0a1pre (like Firefox/3.0.1pre)

When I move the mousecursor in CAMINO 2.0a1pre to a frame with a scrollbar (in the sample-url to the frame with the pictures, where you can select the
youtube-videos), and scroll with the touchpad of a macbook
(two-finger-scrolling) in this frame, the cursor will hang only in this frame
with the scrollbar, without to scroll forward through the whole webpage when
the end of the frame is reached. 

Scrolling forward the page is then only possible when I move the cursor to the
outside of the frame.

(In CAMINO 1.6.1 this Problem does not exist!!!)

(Same problem with Firefox 3)

Hope I could explain the Problem - it reduce the performance of the touchpad.

Thank you in advance.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move the cursor into a frame with a scrollbar.
2. Now scroll with the touchpad of a macbook (two-finger-scrolling) or with the
mousewheel (without to move the mouse) within this frame.
3.
Actual Results:  
The cursor hangs only in the frame with the scrollbar, without to scroll
forward through the whole webpage.

Expected Results:  
Scrolling forward through page when the end of the frame with the scrollbar is
reached without to hang in the frame.

Summary: problem with the touchpad of macbook while scrolling through a webpage → Wheel/touchpad scrolling gets stuck in frame, stop scrolling the web page as a whole
Mehmet, your description isn't very clear.  But I guess what you're
reporting is this:

In Firefox 2 (and Camino 1.6), if you scroll with the mouse wheel over
a div with scrollable contents, the whole page will scroll up after
you've scrolled to the top of the div, and the whole page will scroll
down after you've scrolled to the bottom of the div.  This is true
even while the mouse is over the div (with scrollable contents).

But this is no longer true in Firefox 3 (or 1.9.0-branch Camino).  To
scroll the page you always have to move the mouse outside the div with
scrollable contents.

I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature :-)  And in any case
it happens on both OS X and Windows, so its cross-platform.

I've no idea how to classify this.

Stuart, any ideas?

Hello Steven, hello Stuart,

thank you for your fast answers.

I am sorry for my bad description of the problem, but my english is very, very bad ;-)


Steven, you are exactly right with summary of my problem !!!

For me the user of Camino 2 or Firefox 3, this problem is definitely a bug. Why it should be a feature :-) , because this problem reduce the performance of the touchpad ;-(

Hope this problem will be fixed, because I love Camino 2 / Firefox 3 and to work with the touchpad of a macbook ;-)


THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP !!!!!!!

The FF3 developers may have deliberately dropped this FF2 feature.

UI design is a tricky business ... and sometimes (I think) rather
arbitrary :-)

But I certainly don't know.  I'm going to recategorize this bug to
where it may receive more attention -- though I'm still not entirely
sure where it should go.

Roc, do you know why this change was made from FF2 to FF3 ... or whether it was made on purpose?
The behavior change is a feature. See bug 312831.

However, I think that we can improve the behavior for non-mouse users. Current design is that first wheel scrolling event creates a transaction for current scrollable view which is under the mouse cursor. The transaction will be free after 1.5 sec from last wheel event. But in this case, looks like the time is too long for the reporter (and maybe, for all touch pad users). And if users want to scroll to non-scrollable direction in the current scrollable view at many times, we should discard the current transaction.
Attached patch Patch v1.0 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Maybe, we should not update the transaction when the mouse scroll event cannot scroll the current view actually. Then, the transaction will be finished by timeout.

So, with default settings, the scroll events are discarded during 1.5 sec since last scrolled event.

The patch looks good, but can we have some tests for this functionality?
I wrote a mochitest a while ago that tests mouse-scroll events, although I can't now remember what the filename is.
ok, but looks like we should add a new file for wheel scroll tests.
>     var prevPos = root.scrollTop;
>     synthesizeMouseScroll(...
>     isnot(prevPos, root.scrollTop, "failed to scroll (vertical/backward)");

Ugh, scrollTop returns same value before calling synthesizeMouseScroll. If I call alert after synthesizeMouseScroll, then, scrollTop returns scrolled value. How do sync the scrolling?
mousescroll is always asynchronous.
You can capture "scroll" event, which is dispatched
after the scrolling actually happened.
Thank you, Smaug. I'll try to create the new tests.
Uh, the asynchronous scrolling is too difficult for continuous event firing. |nsNSElementTearoff::GetScrollTop| calls |nsScrollPortView::GetScrollPosition| which returns actual scroll position. But I hope that |nsNSElementTearoff::GetScrollTop| returns the destination positions of the view. Can I change |nsNSElementTearoff::GetScroll*| behavior as so? (Of course, I don't change |nsScrollPortView::GetScrollPosition|. I mean I'll create new method to nsScrollPortView.)

Looks like roc's tree scrolling tests uses destination position:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content/tests/widgets/tree_shared.js#1105
Don't change GetScroll*.

I guess that test works because tree scrolling is synchronous.

I would listen for the "scroll" event. When that fires, scrollTop should have the right value. Although probably, to account for possible smooth scrolling, you should wait until you get a "scroll" event with the right scrollTop value, since there might be intermediate "scroll" events with intermediate scrollTop values.

Patch v1.0.1

I'll post the tests.

Roc, the tests are too delicate. The tests are failed by mouse move events of real. Can I suppress the native mouse move events during the tests? Or, should I add new way for suppressing the events?

E.g., nsDOMWindowUtils adds a new flag to nsEvent. When a wheel transaction begins with an event which has the flag, the transaction don't finish by native mouse events.
Attachment #348941 - Flags: superreview?(roc)

I would prefer to add an API to nsDOMWindowUtils which simply disables all mouse events for the presshell (throwing them away).

What's the point of having an aWindow parameter since it doesn't matter what window is used, anyway?

+function testCoutinuousScroll()

testContinuousScroll

These timers are going to cause problems with random test failures due to missing timeouts in very slow test machines. I think we'll be OK if we set kTimeout and kIgnoreMoveDelay to very large values, make testCoutinuousScroll and testOneTimeScroll listen for an onscroll event instead of using setTimeout to try to guess when the scroll happened. I guess we just can't test testRestartScroll reliably and should take that out.

+  // transaction should be kept.
+  { func: sendMouseMoveEvent, delay: kIgnoreMoveDelay / 3,
+    offset: kPtInSubView1ForV },

Can't delay be 0 here? We really need to get rid of all 'delay's.

+  // Send a wheel event after |kIgnoreMoveDelay| milliseconds since last mouse
+  // move event but it is fired immediately after the last wheel event, then,
+  // current transaction should be kept.

+    isForward: true, isVertical: true, expectedView: gRootView,
+    description: "Reset transaction by a mouse move event (v-7)" },

This test will probably fail randomly. Similarly for all the other tests that have non-zero delays. The only way I can think of to make reliable tests here would be to fire a special DOM event when the internal mouse-scroll timers fire, and listen for that event instead of using a timeout.
> to fire a special DOM event when the internal mouse-scroll timers fire,

I don't understand this well. What's the special DOM event?

Did you mean that ESM should fire a special DOM event, e.g., "on timeout wheel scroll transaction" event and if a test got the event before expected scroll event, then, retry the tests?
Attached patch Patch v1.1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
I added MozMouseScrollFailed event and MozMouseScrollTransactionTimeout event for testing. MozMouseScrollFailed event is fired when the scroll target cannot be scroll to the direction. MozMouseScrollTransactionTimeout event is fired when the transaction is timed out.

But the timeout event is sometimes fired after the new scroll event. I'm not sure the reason. (nsEventDispatcher::Dispatch doesn't fire the event immediately?)

And I changed the nsIPresShell::StopMouseEventHandling to nsIPresShell::StopNonSynthesizedMouseEventHandling. Because when I synthesize some mouse events, I need to restart the mouse event handling temporally, but at that time, real mouse events break the testing (especially, mouse move events).

And when the test gets unexpected timeout event, it is retest current test-list no more than 5 times. This should suppress random test failures.

I don't know why you need the MozMouseScrollFailed event.

What do you mean exactly?

It does.
(In reply to comment #39)
> I don't know why you need the MozMouseScrollFailed event.

It helps to create this test:
1. I need to call one more setTimeout for checking the failure of scrolling. And I need to clear the timer if I don't need it by other events. Of course, a timeout event and the failure event order might be reverted by slow testing environment without recoding the each updating transaction time ourselves.
2. If the failure event came before scroll event by slow testing environment, it might create complex failure log.

I hope to remove the random possibility which is by timer.

> > But the timeout event is sometimes fired after the new scroll event.
> 
> What do you mean exactly?

In testRestartScroll, I expected to test following steps:
1. firing wheel events until timeout event coming.
2. checking transaction timeout (set wasTransactionTimeout flag in the event)
3. firing a wheel event
4. checking scroll event on expected view.

However, in the expected scroll event, the wasTransactionTimeout event was not set.

Ugh... in that case, my test had a bug in above test (wasTransactionTimeout)... I'll retry to check it.

I think instead of defining full-fledged DOM events here, you can use generic "user-defined" nsDOMEvents. Dispatch an nsDOMEvent with NS_USER_DEFINED_EVENT in the nsEvent and then call nsEventDispatcher::CreateEvent and DispatchDOMEvent.

Otherwise looks reasonable.

The easiest way to dispatch a simple DOM event is probably to use
nsContentUtils::DispatchTrustedEvent. And no need to add support for onFoo attributes...

nsContentUtils::DispatchTrustedEvent(sTargetFrame->GetContent()->GetOwnerDoc(),
                                     sTargetFrame->GetContent(),

...of course then you need to use .addEventListener() to add the listener.

So what is a "synthesized mouse event" (NS_EVENT_FLAG_SYNTHESIZED) when comparing to a 
nsMouseEvent which has reasonType eSynthesized?
Please document the difference clearly at least in nsGUIEvent.h, 
and/or perhaps rename NS_EVENT_FLAG_SYNTHESIZED.
And why NS_EVENT_FLAG_SYNTHESIZED flag is set also to key events and gesture events if 
it is never used with those events?

(I don't like the extra events too much, but if there really isn't any other way to

Thank you for your review.

O.K. What should do? I should not use nsCOMPtr at static variables? Or Should I guarantee it will be free before shoutdown? E.g., When nsEventStateManager::Shutdown is called, we can clear it too.
I guess using nsITimer* and manually AddRef/Release.
Release in nsEventStateManager::~nsEventStateManager() when sESMInstanceCount
drops to 0.

This shouldn't be an assertion. InitWithFuncCallback may fail for example when OOM.

The event adding for tests is roc's suggestion, see comment 32. Because if I don't use them, the tests may fail randomly. And the events helps to make simple testing code.

Yes. But we can reduce the value at first trying. And when we retry to the tests, we can grow up the value.

"synthesized" is already used for event reason. Probably it is used for mouse move event synthesizing at scrolling. Smaug was confused by it. Do you have better idea for this issue?

Those are synthesized events generated at reflow/scrolling. Maybe call them "synthetic test events"? They're generated by methods that have "synthesize" in the name.
Attached patch Patch v1.4.3 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This fixes the two issue. At first time, we test with default pref settings. Otherwise, using 5000/1000ms.

And also, I found a bug of the retry testing system. This patch clear a pending timer when it retries to a test. Without this fix, the next or later testing gets the previous testing action.

+  void stopNonSyntheticTestMouseEventHandling(in boolean aStop);

that's uglier than I expected.

How about stopNonTestMouseEventHandling? Or disableNonTestMouseEvents? I prefer the latter.

How long do the tests take to run now?

about 15sec on my environment (Phenom 9500/Vista x64).

backed-out. the patch might be a cause of timeout of test_keycodes.xul. I want
to watch the tinderbox state without this patch.

simplest failure log:

This is the cause. But I have no idea what is a problem.
I can reproduce the failure with all chrome test running.

Fx crash in nsXBLService::GetBinding(nsIContent* aBoundElement, nsIURI* aURI, 
                         PRBool aPeekOnly, nsIPrincipal* aOriginPrincipal,
                         PRBool* aIsReady, nsXBLBinding** aResult,
                         nsTArray<nsIURI*>& aDontExtendURIs)

At this time, aURI was already freed (the debugger displayed 0xdddddddd for the value). At this time, it is called from:

nsXBLService::GetBinding(nsIContent* aBoundElement, nsIURI* aURI, 
                         PRBool aPeekOnly, nsIPrincipal* aOriginPrincipal,
                         PRBool* aIsReady, nsXBLBinding** aResult,
                         nsTArray<nsIURI*>& aDontExtendURIs)

here:

    // Use the NodePrincipal() of the <binding> element in question
    // for the security check.
    rv = GetBinding(aBoundElement, baseProto->BindingURI(), aPeekOnly,
                    child->NodePrincipal(), aIsReady,
                    getter_AddRefs(baseBinding), aDontExtendURIs);

They are called for autocomplete popup invalidating from nsAutoCompleteController::ProcessResult. This is called for searching the autocomplete candidate list. It is called from timer of nsAutoCompleteController.

I don't understand what is a problem.
historically the autocomplete stuff doesn't understand that it can reenter some portion of its class (event handling is fun). in general the fix for such a thing is to keep a local variable or null check the member variable (depending on which behavior you want) across the methods which can call out.

I give up to fix the crash bug, it should not be the scope of this bug. The patch escapes from the crash.

I guess that the autocomplete result searching is still processed by timer even after closing the test page. And it is a cause of the crash. Therefore, if I move the focus from textbox before finish the test, the crash is not occurred.

If I remove the new test, the crash is not occurred. However, if I add the test to before/after test_keycodes.xul, the crash is always occurred. I'm not sure why the new test is a trigger of the bug.

sigh...

I relanded the patch, but two crash test is failed on Linux and Windows (one is Linux, other is Windows). Does my patch breaks memory??
Ugh, the both crash tests are passed in next cycle which contains the patch (i.e., not backed-out)...
ok, the both failures are not caused my patch. I found them in 2/11 and 2/8's tinderbox log.
relanded.
