CEFBrowser don't resize properly if container NSView resize

Postby YvonneDu » Thu Oct 25, 2018 1:49 pm

It is for Mac platform. The CefBrowser will shift from the view and be clipped.

Do anyone know how to solve this?

The reproduce steps are:

Step1. I resize the window, CefBrowser looks good which will show scroll bars when the window becomes small.

Step2. I resize the container NSView directly, the CefBrowser will squeeze the content (to make it simple, can put the CefBrowser in a NSSplitView and drag & drop the splitter)

Step3. I resize the window again, the CefBrowser shifts, part of its control is clipped.

I upload a full video here and some screen shots here.

Does the problem reproduce with the CEF sample applications? How does your code differ from those applications?

Yes. In cefsample project, simply add the browser to a NSSplitView which is hosted by a NSWindow.

Add the below change to simple_app.cc.

Please make CefSimple compile with below files.

If you keep drag & drop the splitter in NSSplitView, you will see the bug.

Another bug you will see is that CefBrowser won't resize along with its parent view. This can be fixed in our product code. While for CefBrowser shifts and is clipped, I have no idea to fix it.

It would be great to get your help.

Code: Select all
void FillSimpleWindowInfo(CefWindowInfo &windowInfo);

void SimpleApp::OnContextInitialized() {
  CEF_REQUIRE_UI_THREAD();

  CefRefPtr<CefCommandLine> command_line =
      CefCommandLine::GetGlobalCommandLine();

#if defined(OS_WIN) || defined(OS_LINUX)
  // Create the browser using the Views framework if "--use-views" is specified
  // via the command-line. Otherwise, create the browser using the native
  // platform framework. The Views framework is currently only supported on
  // Windows and Linux.
  const bool use_views = command_line->HasSwitch("use-views");
#else
  const bool use_views = false;
#endif

  // SimpleHandler implements browser-level callbacks.
  CefRefPtr<SimpleHandler> handler(new SimpleHandler(use_views));

  // Specify CEF browser settings here.
  CefBrowserSettings browser_settings;

  std::string url;

  // Check if a "--url=" value was provided via the command-line. If so, use
  // that instead of the default URL.
  url = command_line->GetSwitchValue("url");
  if (url.empty())
    url = "https://www.bing.com";

  if (use_views) {
    // Create the BrowserView.
    CefRefPtr<CefBrowserView> browser_view = CefBrowserView::CreateBrowserView(
        handler, url, browser_settings, NULL, NULL);

    // Create the Window. It will show itself after creation.
    CefWindow::CreateTopLevelWindow(new SimpleWindowDelegate(browser_view));
  } else {
    // Information used when creating the native window.
    CefWindowInfo window_info;
    FillSimpleWindowInfo(window_info);

#if defined(OS_WIN)
    // On Windows we need to specify certain flags that will be passed to
    // CreateWindowEx().
    window_info.SetAsPopup(NULL, "cefsimple");
#endif

    // Create the first browser window.
    CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser(window_info, handler, url, browser_settings,
                                  NULL);
  }


Helper.mm
Code: Select all
#import "SimpleWindowController.h"
#include "include/views/cef_window.h"

void FillSimpleWindowInfo(CefWindowInfo &window_info)

    SimpleWindowController* controller =  [[SimpleWindowController alloc] initWithWindowNibName:@"SimpleWindow"];
    [controller loadWindow];
    window_info.SetAsChild(controller.Container, 0, 0, controller.Container.bounds.size.width, controller.Container.bounds.size.height);

This looks like not a NSView layout issue. I dumped all sub NSView recursively and the NSLayoutConstraints are not changed between these NSViews.
It looks like CEF's own 'scroll view' issue, the origin point shifts.

You can create a patch file easily with the "git diff" command.

Re: CEFBrowser don't resize properly if container NSView res

Postby YvonneDu » Fri Oct 26, 2018 1:34 pm

Sorry, I am new to CEF tools. Usually I consume the binary directly and generate an xcode project to do my develop.

I have tried my best to generate a patch file from 3578 branch which does not include the changes to compile these new added files.

Could you please help me take a look this bug? It would be great to get a quick fix as we cannot ship with this.
