 I'd like to r+ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96335, but wanted to

 Every native platform that has scrollbars does *not* move focus when you 
 click on them. Every browser engine, except Gecko, moves focus when you click 
 on scrollbars *unless* you're clicking on the viewport scrollbar (e.g. 
 clicking on the scrollbar of an scrollable div that fills the viewport will 
 move focus). Gecko does not move focus when you click on any scrollbar unless 
 you are clicking on the scrollbar of a form control (e.g. textarea) scrollbar.
 
 I'd like to change our behavior to either match Gecko or go fully native and 
 never move focus when clicking on scrollbars. The latter sounds better to me, 
 but either solution would satisfy me.
 
 Any strong opinions/objections?
 
 We've already discussed this on whatwg and the feedback has been that this is 
 up to browser vendors to match the platform conventions: 
 http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-October/037676.html.

Is our current behavior the same as the every browser engine, except Gecko 
behavior described above?

I like the idea of being more like native control behavior.

Maciej

 there's some things left do to.

 If you have any features you would like to add to the garden-o-matic

 now would be a good time to mention them.

 And, if no one speaks up to say that rebaseline-server is still being
 used, I will assume I can delete it when I'm ready to do so.

 Thanks!


I'm still using this for landing Android baselines, and would appreciate if
it could stick around for another two weeks. I'll definitely start looking
in to using garden-o-matic for this purpose as well, however. It's great
that the tools we have are converging into a few more powerful, common ones!

 behavior described above?

Yes.

- Native *never* moves focus, even if the control is focusable (ex.
the wireless networks list in OS X Preferences.app)

- Trident, WebKit and Presto blur the activeElement when clicking a
scrollbar even if the element with the scrollbar is not focusable.
This results in the body being focused.

- Gecko *only* blurs the activeElement if the element with the
scrollbar is focusable (ex. overflow div + tabindex). That is, Gecko
will only blurs if the focus can be transfered to the scrollbar owner.

I agree. I'll update the patch to match Gecko's mostly native, but web

Sounds like we all agree here. The separate question is whether we should
avoid moving focus even when you click on the scrollbar of a focusable
element. That fully matches native, but doesn't match any existing browser.
Maciej, would you prefer that? I'm on the fence and could easily be swayed
either direction.

In the meantime, Elliott's patch matching the Gecko behavior seems
uncontroversial. I'll r+ once it's ready for review.

[webkit-dev] Making more use of ScriptWrappable

2012-11-01 Thread Adam Barth
We currently use two different approaches for associating JavaScript
wrappers with DOM objects.  For some objects, we store the wrapper
inline in the object itself by making object inherit from
ScriptWrappable.  For other types of objects, we use a HashMap to
translate the object into a JavaScript wrapper.

Whether to use ScriptWrappable or a HashMap is a trade-off that
depends on the workload.  For DOM objects that rarely have a
JavaScript wrapper, using a HashMap is more memory efficient because
we don't need to store a large number of null pointers in objects that
do not have wrappers.  By contrast, if an object almost always has a
JavaScript wrapper, using ScriptWrappable is both faster (because we
avoid the hash table lookup) and uses less memory (because we don't
need to store both the key and the value in the HashMap---we just need
to store the value in the object itself).

Today, we use ScriptWrappable for Nodes only, but we would benefit by
making more use of ScriptWrappable, particularly for DOM objects that
almost always have JavaScript wrappers.  For example, XMLHttpRequest
objects exist only when created by script, which means that every
XMLHttpRequest object has a JavaScript wrapper.

My plan is to introduce an interface-level IDL attribute named
something like [OftenHasJSWrapper] that informs the code generator
that the object inherits from ScriptWrappable and that we should make
use of the inline wrapper.  We can then deploy this attribute as
appropriate throughout WebCore to reduce memory usage and improve
performance.

Please let me know if you have any feedback.

Thanks!

[webkit-dev] Implementing rendering support for -webkit-text-decoration-skip

2012-11-01 Thread Lamarque Souza
 

Hi all,

 


I am trying to implement https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92801
[css3-text] Add support for -webkit-text-decoration-skip and have some doubts
about the best way to do it for all parsed values for
-webkit-text-decoration-skip (objects, spaces, ink) [1]

The attached patch implements text-decoration-skip: objects. Now I am trying
to implement text-decoration-skip: spaces. That one seems tricky since I need
to identify all white spaces in a phrase, skip the decoration for all white
spaces but keep it for the words (and other objects). I was reading [2] and one
though I could enclose all white spaces in a block (or inline) and then use what
I did for decoration-skip: objects, but that seems like a lot of overhead to
render the text. Anybody have a better suggestion about how to implement it?

Yeah.  This is a main-world optimization only.  Even for Nodes, we use
a HashMap for secondary worlds.

 I expect there to be cases where the win is more clear though.

Sounds like a good idea.

 For some objects, we store the wrapper
 inline in the object itself by making object inherit from
 ScriptWrappable.  For other types of objects, we use a HashMap to
 translate the object into a JavaScript wrapper.

The current situation is not either ScriptWrappable or the HashMap.
Currently we store all wrappers into the HashMap and store some
wrappers into ScriptWrappable as a cache. In other words, wrappers
stored in ScrpitWrappable are also stored in the HashMap. The fact
that the HashMap knows all wrappers is being used at some places e.g.
when GC enumerate wrappers.

Thanks to the recent efforts of Adam Barth, V8 bindings are going to
remove the need to enumerate all wrappers, and thus the HashMap does
not need to store all wrappers. On the other hand, what about JSC
bindings?

Either way, I would support the idea of introducing ScriptWrappable
for more DOM objects.

JSC has a map per world, and the main world wrappers are stored in the

We know Windows doesn't move focus when you click on the scrollbar of the
top-level window (e.g. if something inside the window has focus, it doesn't
clear focus when you click on the scrollbar), right? We just don't know of
a way of testing nested, native scrollbars on Windows. So, I still think
it's accurate to call this the Windows native scrollbar behavior.
