Previously we snapped the results of nsDisplayItem::GetBounds and
nsDisplayItem::GetOpaqueRegion internally. By tracking which display items were
inside transforms, we disabled snapping quite conservatively whenever an ancestor
had a transform, which is undesirable.
With this patch, we don't snap inside GetBounds or GetOpaqueRegion, but just return
a boolean flag indicating whether the item will draw with snapping or not. This flag
is conservative so that "true" means we will snap (if the graphics context has a transform
that allows snapping), but "false" means we might or might not snap (so it's always safe
to return false).
FrameLayerBuilder takes over responsibility for snapping item bounds. When it converts
display item bounds to layer pixel coordinates, it checks the snap flag returned from
the display item and checks whether the transform when we draw into the layer will be
a known scale (the ContainerParameters scale factors) plus integer translation. If both
are true, we snap the item bounds when converting to layer pixel coordinates. With
this approach, we can snap item bounds even when the items have ancestors with active
transforms.
It would appear that shadows were expected to render above underlines,
violating the CSS3 spec for text-shadow
(http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#text-shadow). The text-overflow
reftest relied on our previous standards-mode decoration implementation,
which drew strikethroughs after drawing the contents of the box,
regardless of whether there was any text; the reference thus no longer
needs to artificially introduce the decoration.
