In Chrome 31, setImmediate was yielding better behavior. But now Chrome
35 seems to behave more smoothly when we use requestAnimationFrame, and
the delay for keystrokes is non-existent.
We sample both the background color of the editor and the gutter. If the
gutter has an actual background color, we use it. Otherwise we fall back
to the same background as the editor.
This ensures lines have an opaque background that matches whatever the
editor is styled as, but avoids the need to apply the .editor-colors
class to the .lines div. That approach fell down when people were
setting the background color via means other than .editor-colors, such
as styling mini editors via the .editor.mini selector in the settings
view.
This is because of the removal of the gutter measurement. When there
was measurement, every load of the editor would measure and request at
least one render based on the reset of the gutter width. These
specs don’t need to call runSetImmediateCallbacks() as they either
don’t do anything to cause a render or they render immediately
(in the case of updated options).
In some cases, we need to make sure nothing happened, so I added a
hasSetImmediateCallbacks() function, which is used in specs where
nothing should have happened.
Previously, these measurements were always performed when the editor
component was mounted. This didn't work in situations where the
component was mounted in a non-visible state. This commit includes a
visibility check in the resize polling we were already doing, kicking
off the measurement process as soon as the editor is visible.
This doesn't seem to adversely affect the scroll experience, and it's
much simpler. I want to avoid preventing the default action of
mousewheel events if they don't actually lead to scrolling, and making
the behavior synchronous will make that a lot easier.
This makes the actions that we perform in the poll loop explicit, and
will prevent the accumulation of polling-related behavior in the
::measureScrollView method.
This allows the line height to be styled via CSS. I would actually
like to allow all these properties to be assigned via CSS rather than
explicitly via the settings view, but that can be deferred until the
old editor is removed.
The goal is to make the editor behave like a standard block-level
element.
The horizontal behavior is simple: we stretch horizontally to fill our
container.
The vertical behavior is more nuanced. If an explicit height is assigned
on the wrapper view, we honor that height. But if no explicit height is
assigned, the editor stretches vertically so that its contents are
visible.
This prepares us to support mini editors, which need to be 1-line tall
without an explicit height assignment.
