Stop converting between CSS and device pixels as part of rendering - the
display list should be as simple as possible, so convert to DevicePixels
once when constructing the display list.
Add a pre-computed `has_empty_effective_clip` flag on
AccumulatedVisualContext that propagates from parent to child. When a
clip rect or clip path has zero area, all descendant commands are
skipped at display list recording time in `DisplayList::append()`,
so they are never stored or executed.
This allows skipping ~10% of display list commands in the Discord app.
compute_mouse_event_offset() only inverted the target element's own CSS
transform, ignoring ancestor transforms. This caused incorrect offsetX/
offsetY values when elements were nested inside transformed parents.
Use AccumulatedVisualContext::inverse_transform_point() to invert the
full ancestor transform chain instead.
When executing display list commands, check if commands with effect
contexts (opacity, filters, blend modes) are outside the viewport
before applying the effect. Since effects don't affect clip state,
would_be_fully_clipped_by_painter() returns the same result before
and after applying effects.
This avoids expensive saveLayer/restore cycles for off-screen commands
with effects like blur, which is particularly beneficial for pages with
many blurred decorative images (e.g., Discord's landing page has 70+
blurred star images).
The optimization only applies when switching to a new effect context,
not for consecutive commands with the same context, to preserve correct
blend mode compositing behavior.
This change adds border-radius awareness to hit testing in two places:
1. ClipData::contains() now uses BorderRadiiData::contains() to properly
check if a point is inside a rounded clip rect. This handles overflow
clips from ancestor elements that have border-radius.
2. PaintableBox::hit_test() now directly checks the element's own
border-radius before reporting a hit.
Effects (opacity, blend mode, filters) must be applied in the parent's
coordinate space, before the element's transform. Previously this was
handled by manually switching to the parent's visual context when
applying effects at paint time.
By adding EffectsData to AccumulatedVisualContext and positioning it
before TransformData in the chain, effects are now naturally applied in
the correct order during display list replay, eliminating the special
case in StackingContext::paint().
For SVG filters that can generate content from empty elements (feFlood,
feImage, feTurbulence), a transparent FillRect command is emitted to
trigger the filter through the same AVC pipeline.
The previous implementation had a bug: it composed all ancestor
transforms but applied them around only the innermost element's
transform origin. The correct behavior is to apply each transform
around its own origin.
AccumulatedVisualContext already tracks all visual transformations
(transforms, scroll offsets, perspective) correctly for hit testing.
This change adds a new transform_rect_to_viewport() method that performs
the forward transformation (element coordinates to viewport
coordinates), which is the inverse direction of
transform_point_for_hit_test().
This fixes getBoundingClientRect() returning incorrect coordinates for
elements inside transformed ancestors with non-default
transform-origins.
Previously, clip-path was applied only during painting in
StackingContext::paint(), which meant hit testing did not respect
clip-path boundaries. Clicks outside the visible clipped region but
inside the element's bounding box would incorrectly register as hits.
By moving clip-path into AccumulatedVisualContext, it becomes part of
the same system that handles transforms, clips, and scroll offsets for
both painting and hit testing, ensuring consistent behavior.
Introduce AccumulatedVisualContext, a tree structure that tracks the
cumulative visual state (scroll offsets, clip regions, transforms,
perspective) for each paintable box.
Motivation:
Before this change, visual state was fragmented across multiple
mechanisms:
- ClipFrame: Tracked clip rectangles, each storing its own
enclosing_scroll_frame_id to handle scroll offset adjustments
- scroll_frame_id: Passed separately to each display list command
- PushStackingContext: Stored transform matrices directly in the command
- Every display list command implemented translate_by() (45 methods
total) to allow scroll offset adjustment during playback
This fragmentation led to:
- Complex, error-prone coordinate transformation logic scattered
throughout the codebase
- Commands being mutated during playback to apply scroll offsets
- Duplicate logic between painting and hit testing for coordinate
transformations
Solution:
AccumulatedVisualContext builds a tree where each node represents a
single visual operation:
- ScrollData: A scroll frame with its ID
- ClipData: A clip rectangle with optional border radii
- TransformData: A 4x4 transform matrix with its origin
- PerspectiveData: A perspective projection matrix
Each PaintableBox stores a reference to its accumulated context node.
The tree structure naturally captures the parent-child relationships,
so traversing from any node to the root gives the complete chain of
visual transformations.
Benefits this enables (in subsequent commits):
- Display list commands become immutable - no more translate_by()
- Single RefPtr<AccumulatedVisualContext> replaces separate
scroll_frame_id and ClipFrame on commands
- LCA-based tree traversal during playback for efficient save/restore
- transform_point_for_hit_test() provides coordinate transformation for
hit testing using the same structure
