| 00:09 | <MikeSmith> | railgun: nice work |
| 01:16 | <railgun> | MikeSmith: thanks! |
| 09:46 | <salty-horse> | hi. is this a good place to ask questions about the html5 spec? |
| 10:30 | <MikeSmith> | salty-horse: yes |
| 10:44 | <salty-horse> | great. in <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/canvas.html#2dcontext:canvasrenderingcontext2d-19>; it's explained what happens when setting a canvas to "alpha: false". is it correct that the alpha=false state should be kept when the canvas's width/height is changed? it's an old bug in firefox that I'm trying to fix, and I want to make sure I understand the spec https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219985 |
| 11:11 | <MikeSmith> | salty-horse: dunno but if you hang around somebody else on the channel will probably eventually respond |
| 11:12 | <MikeSmith> | Philip` maybe |
| 11:16 | <MikeSmith> | salty-horse: reading https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/canvas.html#concept-canvas-set-bitmap-dimensions I see no mention of UA requirements to make any change to the alpha boolean when seeing the width and height |
| 11:16 | <MikeSmith> | given that, then yeah it’s correct that the alpha=false state should be kept when the canvas's width/height is changed |
| 11:17 | <MikeSmith> | for a UA to do otherwise would be non-conforming |
| 11:17 | <salty-horse> | that's what I thought. thanks. |
| 11:18 | <MikeSmith> | yeah, because in general, unless the spec explictly says in some algorithm that something must change as a result of that algorithm running, then it must not change as a result of that algorithm runnig |
