It's not reproducing reliably for me.

Do we expect the license show in the browser app? It is shown inside a setting app panel before. Actually it's an local side html document laid in an iframe, which costs 10 secs or longer to load (by lazy loading) and thus made UI unresponsive before loading is done. We may do something to improve the response time. Not sure why the white screen come out... the license panel do show up but seems like it's soon covered by a white panel. The logcat warning is not the main reason. Still digging.

I have a WIP patch that removes the setTimeout() calls in showPanel(). That seems to solve this bug but I'm still testing because some panel transitions are not as good as before.
Comment 7•12 years ago

I found it may be a repainting problem inside Gecko, because the back button on the left top is still tappable while the screen is completely white. The Open Source Notice page is just **too long** for Unagi -- I need almost a second scrolling speedily to reach the bottom! The extremely long page costs too much time to load and may be the culprit of the repainting problem. I suggest doing some paging by each license (and 2~3 pages for permissive license) and the problem may gone automatically.

Julien: I'd like to correct my opinion. I tried to shorten Open Source Notice page. Although the bug still exists, I found the STR 100% reproducible it for me: - Tap Settings - Tap Device Information - Tap Legal information - Tap Open Source Notice - While loading, tap anywhere once on the screen. Expected: - Open Source Notice page shown. Actual: - A white page comes up. Back button can't be seen but it's still functioning. Not sure whether it's a regression. It's not reproducible on gecko 20 of 12/10.

rexboy: I believe this is just a bad behaviour on Gaia. If I set the background to red, it turns into a red screen. So I believe we're just hidding the page once it's loaded with some race condition.
The back button is completely unresponsive while this page loads, so it appears that we're loading and reflowing everything in one event-loop iteration. That's taking at least 10sec or so. Surprising that interruptible reflow isn't kicking in. As for the white content, my best guess is that the tap event is causing a new focus that's doing a bogus scroll-focused-content-into-view, but no ideas beyond that.

Let's see if we can find a platform person to take a look at the underlying bug.

> Surprising that interruptible reflow isn't kicking in.
There is no interruptible reflow on B2G, afaict. Interrupts only happen if HasPendingInputEvent() on the nearest nsIWidget returns true, and I don't see either PuppetWidget or the gonk version of nsWindow ever doing that.
Still reading the rest of the bug...

OK, read the rest of it now. Is the issue we're worried on platform side the lack of interruptible reflow, the fact that rendering about:license (I assume that's what we're rendering here) takes a while, or something else? I can suggest workarounds that involve changing about:license to be less one-shot if that's what it takes. But that's only 150KB of text or so, without any serious CSS insanity; it really shouldn't be taking 10s to render....

Ah ok, that makes sense. It's a bit nontrivial for us to do that in PuppetWidget but it's possible.

The problem this bug covers is that tapping anywhere in the settings app while the license text is loading causes the entire settings-app window to render white once the text loads.

Still on the reflow interrupt thing, we could also switch to one of the other interrupt modes (e.g. the one that interrupts deterministically off a counter once 100ms have passed). But if we can hook up HasPendingInputEvent that would be _way_ better.

Here's a profile, confirming that we're spending this time reflowing: http://people.mozilla.com/~bgirard/cleopatra/#report=3b565949e20bf7d965adaaf95e8e8fc5c91efde3 There doesn't seem to be a crash here (which I also assume is why this bug just got renamed accordingly), just slow layout work. I'd like to help more, but realistically, a layout person would be more efficient than me at this.

The previous profile had bad symbols, apparently because profiling on B2G does not work unless one has --disable-elf-hack. (Working to confirm that theory). Here is a profile obtained with a --disable-elf-hack build, which looks much better: http://people.mozilla.com/~bgirard/cleopatra/#report=75848aa8ceae25cbd7e49ba1518793cdcc2156bb

The other thing to do here is add more SAMPLE_LABEL's around DoReflow to get better profiles. Currently we know we spend 80% time there, and we know a list of functions below there where we spend time, but we don't have a good tree view.

Looks like your typical flat-ish layout profile. The stuff near the top all has to do with text layout, which is not surprising: there's not much more than text involved here.
Comment 29•12 years ago
|
||
But, surely it's not considered OK that we take about 10 seconds to reflow this page. Text layout is not my forte so I guess I'll add SAMPLE_LABEL's to improve this profile; I don't see something more useful for me to do here; perhaps you have suggestions.

> But, surely it's not considered OK that we take about 10 seconds to reflow this page. I'm a bit surprised by that too; see comment 19. For what it's worth, on my fast laptop the page takes about 30-40ms to render. I guess it's possible that the phone is 250x slower, but it seems a little fishy.
Does it change if you set the font.size.inflation.minTwips pref to 0?
Comment 32•12 years ago
|

How common layout/content/page is our open source notice? If it isn't common, perhaps we can change the content so that we don't invite this problem? If it is common and we're going to hit a lot of other pages like this, then I guess we need to keep it a blocker. Just stating the obvious, I guess.

Here is a new profile with a lot of SAMPLE_LABEL's all over the text layout code. http://people.mozilla.com/~bgirard/cleopatra/#report=aaafd649dff13e7e1476991d0506cafe7e264258 Do you see something new in it? Any place where you'd like me to add more SAMPLE_LABEL's?

> Do you see something new in it?
Maybe! 70% of the time is under textrun creation from nsLineLayout::TrimTrailingWhiteSpaceIn. But I thought that happened after layout was done for the line. And that means that those frames should presumably already have textruns, no?

There is a simple workaround in Gaia for it. Let's renominate this since there is still a real bug but it's maybe not a blocker anymore.

Agreed. I've moved bug 828210 to Gaia:System. Let's mark this as something we'd like to see in B2G 1.x but not a blocker for basecamp. If there's a patch for this soon, please request approval for uplift.
