Scott (jwir3)

Last Week:

  • bug 847872: Reflow zoom on double tap only (r+, but I’m having some difficulty with tests – specifically testVkbOverlap on Android and I’m kind of blocked on this before I can land).
  • Looked into bug 864595: Assertion failure in caretPositionFromPoint. I have a solution, but it’s not quite ready for review.
  • bug 862763: Performance of nsLayoutUtils::FontSizeInflationEnabled needs some work (in review).

This Week:

  • Land reflow-on-zoom on double-tap only.
  • Land HResize performance enhancement for reflow-on-zoom.
  • Finish implementation of last solution for bug 836565 that queues one event for each document to be reflown in nsDocumentViewer, for responsiveness (this might not be necessary).
  • bug 766599: Reframe to prevent crash in nsFontInflationData (this will allow us to dynamically change font inflation prefs without a reload).
