Bug 111438 – Web Inspector: Clicks in browser windows are off after a debug session.

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Sanford Selznick]

I'm not sure if this is WebKit or Web Inspector.  After a debug session in split window mode, later web pages that are *not* in debug mode have coordinate/click problems.

Here's how I reproduce it reliably:

0) Launch WebKit.app.
1) Open up a web page for debugging in split screen mode (debugger in bottom half.)  Normal document sized window.
2) Set a breakpoint at some button action.
3) Click around in the web page to make the debugger stop at the breakpoint from (2).
4) Close all Safari windows.  But don't quit.

(Stick with me here.)

5) Go to bugs.webkit.org in a new window.
6) Create a new inspector bug report.
7) Select platform Mac Intel, OS 10.8
8) Click in "Description" field.  The "Description" field will resize.  This is important, I think.
9) Try to click and hold on the "Add an Attachment" button.
    Result: It won't work.  It thinks I'm clicking elsewhere.
10) Click around some more.  Clicks are off by about 200 pixels.

This happened a little with the release Safari.app.  Then went away in the WebKit nightlies.  Now it's back.

I hope this helps.

(No plug-ins, mostly stock system.  I haven't tried other systems yet.)

Has anyone taken a look at this?  I find myself quitting and re-running Safari after most debug sessions, which is not very convenient.

[Timothy Hatcher]

I can't reproduce in the latest nightly. I do remember seeing something like this in Safari 6 about scrolling and going back/forward. But not related to the docked Web Inspector, and never after closing the window.

Does it still reproduce for you? Always?

Movie of click offsets...

Unfortunately the problem persists for me in the latest nightly.  Attached is a movie of me triple-clicking around.  Towards the end you'll see me triple-click in one location, a popup appears, but nowhere near the menu itself.  Other clicks do other interesting things.  The cursor is visible in the movie.

I tried to capture mac-audio, but the sound of my clicking didn't make it through.

[Sanford Selznick]

> Does it still reproduce for you? Always?

Yes, always.

[Timothy Hatcher]

Thanks for the screencast. Can you record one for all the steps to reproduce the issue? I still haven't had any luck reproducing.

OnLoad sample used in movie.

This was done with this morning's web kit, not this afternoon's.  This afternoon's webkit was crashing on the second window because of 116347.

Attached is the HTML file in the new movie.  And the new movie itself.  I hope this helps!

[Timothy Hatcher]

Thanks, I don't see the new movie that you mention.

Movie start to finish.

Note: WebKit is launched when I drag the proxy icon to WebKit in my dock.  I don't know why the webkit home page is not displaying on launch.  Get Info in the Finder says: r150245, Copyright 2005-2009 Apple Inc.

Thanks!

[Timothy Hatcher]

I still can't reproduce. But I have a speculative fix.

[Sanford Selznick]

Sorry about this.  It does not appear to be fixed over here in r150351.

One thing to note when you try to reproduce it:  Are you scrolling down on the page and clicking in the "Additional Comments" field?  Is it growing?  The offsets are fine if I don't scroll down on this bugs.webkit.orgs page.  It's clicking in the field after scrolling that things get off.

I'm on a 2-year-old old 17" MBP.  10.8.3.

Please let me know how I can help.

[Timothy Hatcher]

Thanks for testing. Yes, I was scrolling down.

Does it reproduce for you if you continue the debugger before closing the window? Is the Web Inspector a required step at all?

[Sanford Selznick]

It appears to be ok if I continue the debugger and close the window (and all tabs).  And then visit this bug page.

Please reopen in component [Web Inspector] if the bug still reproduces in trunk.
