Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to With split view active, hover expansion can briefly show misaligned panes during the slide animation. The effect is transient and self-correcting, so the change is mergeable with a small follow-up fix. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❓ 1❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)

Chromium Views views::View::PreferredSizeChanged API contract immediate synchronous layout schedules layout
💡 Result:
`PreferredSizeChanged()` is **not a guarantee that layout finishes synchronously**. In current Chromium `main`, the base implementation synchronously calls the parent’s `ChildPreferredSizeChanged(this)`, then invalidates this view’s layout and notifies observers. The source specifically postpones invalidation until the parent callback has returned, to avoid layout work running too early. ([chromium.googlesource.com](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/%2B/main/ui/views/view.cc))
So: **the notification/callback path is synchronous; the resulting layout is invalidated, not promised to be completed before the call returns.** The header describes the parent callback as an *opportunity* to do a fresh layout “if that makes sense.” ([chromium.googlesource.com](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/%2B/HEAD/ui/views/view.h))
This is based on Chromium’s current `main` source; behavior in another branch or commit may differ.

Chromium source 149.0.7827.201 ui/views/view.cc PreferredSizeChanged
💡 Result:
In Chromium **149.0.7827.201**, `View::PreferredSizeChanged()` is in [`ui/views/view.cc`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/tags/149.0.7827.201/ui/views/view.cc).
The version tag is confirmed, but I couldn’t retrieve that file’s contents from the source browser. The current `main` implementation notifies the parent via `ChildPreferredSizeChanged(this)`, invalidates layout, and notifies view observers; that may differ from the tagged version.

Synchronize split layout before auto-hover slides.
With an active split view, AutoExpand and AutoCollapse call PreferredSizeChanged() and start the slide without forcing layout. In Chromium 149, views::View::PreferredSizeChanged() does not guarantee that layout completes synchronously. Split-pane bounds can remain stale during the slide; the split branch skips animating the contents container and forces layout only when the slide completes. Call the synchronization helper in both auto paths.
Suggested fix
PreferredSizeChanged();
+ SynchronizeSplitContentLayoutForSidebarChange(browser_);
AnimateLayerSlide(old_width, user_width_); PreferredSizeChanged();
+ SynchronizeSplitContentLayoutForSidebarChange(browser_);
AnimateLayerSlide(old_width, kCollapsedWidth);📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
