Sorry, don't think we can remove it - it looks like the quirk was added to support context menus as part of this change:

Summary: Size views with no bgcolor or resource to 0x0, add separate tree for context menus

Bugs Fixed: LPP-5447 - DHTML: inputtext and clickable (partial)

Technical Reviewer: ptw
QA Reviewer: [email protected]

Details: LzSprite - (from ptw's change - Move the canvas hiding from the CSS class style to the canvas div, so removing it just removes the div style (and the div reverts to the class style default). Similarly for controlling visibility on all divs.) Add quirks property for sprite constructor. Add fix_contextmenu and size_blank_to_zero quirks, default to on. When fix_contextmenu quirk is on, build context menu container div called lzcanvascontextdiv that lives under the lzcanvasdiv and lzcanvasclickdiv. Set x and y position, visibility, clipping and z-index of context container, if it exists. Lazily build up context menu div tree when context menu is set. Base __LZclick div on cached width and height values. When size_blank_to_zero quirk is on and there's no bgcolor or source property set (and we're not a textsprite), set the width/height to 0 and set __sizedtozero flag so size can be restored as needed. Set the context menu height/width if needed. Restore div size when bgcolor or source is set to a non-null value. Modify __findParents() to accept an optional second argument - when true, look for parents with a null value. Change __updateClip() to update contextmenu and click container div clip values. Clean up context menu and context menu container divs in destroy(). Cache value passed to setID() so it can be used later.

LzTextSprite - Add istextsprite flag to test for text sprite classes more easily.

LzMouseKernel - If fix_contextmenu quirk is on, hide visible and click div trees so context menu tree can be checked to find the correct context menu to show.

Tests: Testcase attached to LPP-7661 works as before, as does the testcase from Maynard on 23/Feb/09 12:12 PM. This change will make it possible for my recent changeset for LPP-5447 to work with context menus...

What is the history/purpose of this?  Do we still need it?

As we add more and more CSS features, if we continue to support this quirk, we 
have to evaluate every CSS feature to decide when it results in a 'blank' 
sprite or not.  If this quirk is no longer needed, it would surely clean up the 
code significantly if we could remove it...
