nit: Couldn't hurt to add a comment that we ignore LCD text because compositing
is necessary when we have composited descendants for correctness for fixed (and
eventually sticky) position.

Done.

I assume the check for EPosition::kFixed goes away once your other patch lands
right?

[smcgruer, 2017/04/27 14:53:30]

Yep, the other patch will be reduced to removing this check and renaming the
reason constant.
