With issue 626200 and issue 381840 , we are / will be automatically promoting elements which can retain LCD text to maintain composited scrolling. However, there are several conditions under which we currently cannot promote, but could with some work.
We should replace the broad main thread reasons of non layer viewport constrained objects and non fast scrollable reason with the more specific reasons which are preventing us from compositing them so that we can prioritize, e.g.:
- Transparent background
- Border radius
- Transform
- Custom scrollbars
- Box shadow
- Clip
- Translucent border
- Multiple background attachments
