I filed a bug report for this today, but wanted to post it here for discussion.
By design, native.newWebView ‘covers up’ the webview with a gray box and activity indicator when loading a page.
(By the way, I’d love to be able to customize or turn this off entirely…).
The bug:
When using content scaling, that gray box doesn’t align correctly with the webview. In typical applications, it’s position is offset right and below the actual webview, so part of the webview is not obscured, and other elements to the right and below the webview ARE obscured.
I’m guessing the code to compute the coordinates of the coverup rectangle aren’t translating correctly, or are using translated coordinates from the webview (native canvas) in the content scaled coordinate space.
