Details

(Whiteboard: [wr-reserve])

With WebRender enabled and blob-images enabled, keyboard scrolling on http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42157129 frequently janks. This is caused by the fallback drawing of images that use this large sprite: http://static.bbci.co.uk/news/1.220.02180/img/news--icons-sprite.png . For example, the phone icon next to the "On your mobile" text on the bottom of the page uses this sprite. The sprite is set as a background image on a ::before pseudo element. With blob-images, drawing the image into a DrawTargetRecording puts all the pixels of the image into the recording, and we do that for every use of the image. We should find out why these images are using fallback and make them stop using fallback.

The fallback checks in the nsDisplayBackgroundImage is a bit stange. I take a look.

Do you still see this?

No, everything is smooth now. I don't see any fallback being used either.
