Glenn, any suggestions here?

Dzmitry, do you have any thoughts about this bug?

Flags: needinfo?(dmalyshau)

It's possible this is a WR bug, although if it doesn't occur on Mac, it seems that it might be an issue in the Gecko-side Windows-specific code. Perhaps Sotaro might have some ideas or thoughts on where to investigate?

When I've looked at resizing bugs on Windows in the past, I know I've seen it working smoothly. So that suggests that we could probably get a mozregression range to narrow down when this broke, or perhaps that it's system / GPU specific if we can't find a (relatively) recent regression range.

Markus, could this be related to your changes in the regression range the reporter found?

Regression range

I'm curious, how did you obtain this regression range? If you used mozregression, it should have continued checking autoland builds after it got the mozilla-central regression range, and the final regression range would have been smaller and even more helpful. If you didn't use mozregression, I hope you'll consider using mozregression in the future.

Final autoland regression range:

Yes, absolutely.

I think I've identified the responsible change:

-  if (!mCompositor->BeginFrame()) {
+  auto size = mCompositor->GetBufferSize();
+
+  if (mNativeLayerForEntireWindow) {
+    gfx::IntRect bounds(gfx::IntPoint(0, 0), size.ToUnknownSize());
+    mNativeLayerForEntireWindow->SetRect(bounds);
+#ifdef XP_MACOSX
+    mNativeLayerForEntireWindow->SetOpaqueRegion(
+        mCompositor->GetWidget()->GetOpaqueWidgetRegion().ToUnknownRegion());
+#endif
+  }
+
+  if (!mCompositor->BeginFrame(mNativeLayerForEntireWindow)) {
     if (mCompositor->IsContextLost()) {
       RenderThread::Get()->HandleDeviceReset("BeginFrame", /* aNotify */ true);
     }
+    mCompositor->GetWidget()->PostRender(&widgetContext);
     return false;
   }
 
   wr_renderer_update(mRenderer);
 
-  auto size = mCompositor->GetBufferSize();
-
   if (!wr_renderer_render(mRenderer, size.width, size.height, aHadSlowFrame,
                           aOutStats)) {

We were calling GetBufferSize after BeginFrame in the past, and now the order is reversed.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: This is a pretty noticeable regression, we should make sure it doesn't slip into 70.

Hello Markus! Thank you for finding the final regression range. I didn’t notice at that time that my mozregression was not updated and I was getting a skipping build error when switching to autoland. I will consider updating mozregression regularly in the future. Thank you again and sorry for any inconvenience created.

The issue is verified using Firefox 71.0a1 (20190909095540) on Windows 10x64.

Markus (or Matt since Markus is out at the moment), is this ready for uplift to beta70?
