gollark: Horrible as in inconsistent.
gollark: Not in that file but whatever.
gollark: ```luafunction Element:calcSize(queue, stack) if self.finalizeSize then self.parent.container = self.parent.container + self.container self.finalizeSize = nil return end if self.parent then self.container = new(class.ElementRect)(self.parent.container) self.finalizeSize = true else self.container = new(class.ElementRect)(nil, self.browserObject.request.page.window, nil, 0, 0) end stack:push(self.container) if self.window then stack:push(new(class.ElementRect)(self.container, self.window)) end if self.parent then queue:push(self) end for i=#self.children, 1, -1 do queue:push(self.children[i]) endend```
