[wpe-webkit] Smooth Scroll option not working

[Mohan Reddy]

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your reply.
 ENABLE_SMOOTH_SCROLLING  option is  enabled by default only in webkitgtk
not in WPE code, To  enable  ENABLE_SMOOTH_SCROLLING  option  in WPE  we
need to include following file sources in  *Source/WebCore/SourcesWPE.txt *file
to fix compilation issue.

< platform/generic/ScrollAnimatorGeneric.cpp
< platform/ScrollAnimationSmooth.cpp
< platform/ScrollAnimationKinetic.cpp

  enable-smooth-scrolling  option default value I changed to TRUE but still
smooth scrolling option is not working(In webkitgtk and WPE)  So as per
your suggestion we are looking into  polyfill to achieve the smooth
scrolling behavior in our app.
Please let me know If any one achieved smooth scrolling behavior with
webkit without using any polifill.

Thanks & Regards,
Mohan.
