Scott (jwir3)

Last Week:

  • bug 477166: Get an IID checking utility to prevent interface changes without IID changes (in review).
  • bug 803719: Position maintenance for reflow-on-zoom (in review).

Next:

  • bug 836565: Performance issue with reflow-on-zoom after zooming-in, then zooming-out.
  • bug 836568: Reflow-on-zoom has an issue where events build up in a queue, causing problems with subsequent zooms.

Blocking:

  • Trying to determine where in the paint process bug 836565 is happening, which is the major blocking issue for reflow-on-zoom landing right now. I've determined that it's happening in the paint (not reflow) code, but it's not a result of progressive painting/low-precision tile rendering, since I've turned off the preferences controlling those areas of the code. If you have a few minutes, and know about painting code, I'd really like to debug this with someone, as I'm not 100% confident I understand exactly how the painting code works in Fennec.

Other:

  • I'll be in SF from February 17th - March 3rd.
