Subject: [PATCH] Ignore small height-only viewport resizes in the fx renderer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Mobile browser toolbar transitions change the viewport height by a
fraction mid-gesture; re-rendering the PDF for that races with
active text selections and can blank the canvas (the old canvas is
cleared for the re-render, and the async pdf.js render can fail or
get interrupted by the next resize). Only re-render for real layout
changes — same threshold as the paginator.
