@jasmussen do you have any context to why we may want to use |
Based on this comment here, https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/40740/files#diff-7895f8092f907d624abdbe647e2201f1cebe9198cd3fae6ba759b70a4c0bfef4R16, it appears to be related to popover positioning computations. @youknowriad might have more context, but it sounds like the math that positions the inserter benefits from the outline not counting towards the block footprint. An alternate solution, not sure if it affects perf, is to use an inner box-shadow for the border. That should theoretically accomplish the same. |

As @jasmussen says, we can't use border
because it affects the computed position for the Popover

I tried using box-shadow
on my machine as suggested:

From a quick look:
- paint flashes are still reduced as per this PR's intention
- Popover looks like on
trunk
(and the new border still doesn't affect the Popover's position)
@corentin-gautier , do you mind applying the suggested changes from the code snippet above and check if it achieves the rendering perf improvement that you had in mind?

remove border on unstyled/expanded use box-shadow instead of border remove shadow on alternate update changelog Co-authored-by: Corentin Gautier <corentin.gautier@consertotech.pro>
What?
Popovers use outline instead of border but it seems to trigger paint when hovering elements inside the popover
Why?
Using border avoids triggering paint which is better for performances
How?
Replace the use of outline by border
