User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110114 Firefox/4.0b10pre A browser window may keep a state which causes late application of external CSS. Initially the content is rendered without CSS and shortly thereafter the CSS is applied. This appears as flicker. When you pull the tab out creating a new browser window the error vansishes. If you put the tab back oder otherwise invoke the URL in the first window and reload the error is reproduced. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central 2. etrl-e (enter panorama) 3. shrink tab group, pull tab out of tab group (-> tab group vanishes) 4. click at tab 5. reload (ctrl-r or mouse on reload) Actual Results: Page is renderered without CSS initially then CSS is applied. Expected Results: Page is rendered with CSS.

Indeed. If panorama requests layout even when we don't have all of our style... we have to do layout. Even though we don't have all the styles yet. Good thing they stopped doing that.

This started happening again because the code from bug 594958 is flushing layout on the content window. It's still passing DO_NO_FLUSH to the drawWindow call, so I assume it doesn't _mean_ to flush. But _calculateClippingRect requests the scroll* properties of the body, which triggers a layout flush of course. (I'm also not sure where the magic "25" adjustment to the width comes from, but that's a separate issue.)

I wasn't aware of this bug when I "fixed" bug 594958. > (I'm also not sure where the magic "25" adjustment to the width comes from, but > that's a separate issue.) That's the vertical scrollbar. Loosing some pixels on right does not hurt that much so that's a bit easier than getting the documentElement and its clientWidth/Height (we also don't want the documentElement - we want the window size as that is what the user sees).
> That's the vertical scrollbar. Nothing guarantees that 25 is larger than the vertical scrollbar width, for what it's worth (and in fact on Windows with wide scrollbars I'll bet money it's not). For the rest, what's the code trying to measure? That is, why do you need the |if (body)| codepath at all, instead of just using the window's innerWidth/innerHeight?
This seems worse than the issue fixed by bug 594958, so if this can't be sorted out quickly, that patch should probably be backed out.

(In reply to comment #15) > Nothing guarantees that 25 is larger than the vertical scrollbar width, for > what it's worth (and in fact on Windows with wide scrollbars I'll bet money > it's not). Mhh true :/ We should correctly calculate the scrollbar width and subtract that from the window's inner width. > For the rest, what's the code trying to measure? That is, why do you need the > |if (body)| codepath at all, instead of just using the window's > innerWidth/innerHeight? Often the body's scroll size is greater than the viewport. So we want the window size at the minimum. If the page is greater than that we want the body's scroll size.

Seems there's an easy fix for this. I'll file a follow-up for the scrollbar width issue.

It won't cause the FOUC issue this bug is about. It might impact performance, depending on how it interleaves with the refresh driver and with page scripts.
(In reply to comment #22) > It might impact performance, depending on how it interleaves with the refresh > driver and with page scripts. Ok, sorry I didn't know this could have so much side-effects. So we need another follow up bug for getting page bounds without impacting on the content window?

Seems like this should be prevented. Apart from that, I think we need a patch that makes this code not touch document.body, given comment 22.

Please no other followup. If it's an easy fix, it can just be done here. If it's not an easy fix, we need to revert the patch from bug 594958.
patch v1 breaks the smooth opening of new tabs wich have been created in panorama.

Ok, there seems no easy way of retrieving the actual page size for now. There are many other issues with tab thumbnail generation and we will punt them all after fx4. I reverted the patch and removed the whole part that accesses the document's body (so no FOUC and no performance impact). We're having pretty good results anyway. I filed bug 631593 and added a comment to replace the 25px static scrollbar width. That's better than removing it completely as that should be ok on most systems.

(In reply to comment #30) > This might be handled in a separate bug, but do you know what's going on here > yet? Why is the _update called so aggressively during page load when panorama > isn't open? This is done because we listen on TabAttrModified. TabItems._update() handles the thumbnail, favicon, url (stored internally) and label - so any of them could have been modified. We should probably split that up and handle thumbnail updates separately. This could be done together with bug 598435 that suggests to use MozAfterPaint.
Using TabAttrModified to update tab thumbnails /while panorama isn't open/ sounds way too aggressive and wasteful to me (MozAfterPaint seems even worse).
Note that this was actually discussed somewhat in bug 609685 comment 2. That's when the DO_NOT_FLUSH was added to the drawWindow call.
(In reply to comment #32) > Using TabAttrModified to update tab thumbnails /while panorama isn't open/ > sounds way too aggressive and wasteful to me (MozAfterPaint seems even worse). We receive the events when the user is not in the Panorama UI, but we simply set dirty flags; it's not till you reenter the Panorama UI that thumbnails are actually updated. If, for some reason, we are actually updating thumbnails while not in the Panorama UI, that's definitely a problem.
