The main issue with the old approach was that hover state was calculated based on the previous frame. That is, when computing whether a given element was hovered in the current frame, we would use information about the same element in the previous frame. However, inspecting the previous frame tells us very little about what should be hovered in the current frame, as elements in the current frame may have changed significantly. ### Solution This pull request's main contribution is the introduction of a new `after_layout` phase when redrawing the window. The key idea is that we'll give every element a chance to register a hitbox (see `ElementContext::insert_hitbox`) before painting anything. Then, during the `paint` phase, elements can determine whether they're the topmost and draw their hover state accordingly. We are also removing the ability to give an arbitrary z-index to elements. Instead, we will follow the much simpler painter's algorithm. That is, an element that gets painted after will be drawn on top of an element that got painted earlier. Elements can still escape their current "stacking context" by using the new `ElementContext::defer_draw` method (see `Overlay` for an example). Elements drawn using this method will still be logically considered as being children of their original parent (for keybinding, focus and cache invalidation purposes) but their layout and paint passes will be deferred until the currently-drawn element is done. With these changes we also reworked geometry batching within the `Scene`. The new approach uses an AABB tree to determine geometry occlusion, which allows the GPU to render non-overlapping geometry in parallel. ### Performance Performance is slightly better than on `main` even though this new approach is more correct and we're maintaining an extra data structure (the AABB tree).  Release Notes: - Fixed a bug that was causing popovers to flicker. --------- Co-authored-by: Nathan Sobo <nathan@zed.dev> Co-authored-by: Thorsten <thorsten@zed.dev> |
