Bug 115675 – Hittest finds the truncated text instead of the floating input, when the input is clicked.

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

<style>
  div {
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    overflow: hidden;
    white-space: nowrap;
  }

  input {
    float: right;
  }
</style>

<div><input type='text'>long long long long long text</div>

1, input is clicked.
2, text gets the hit test, even though it is truncated right before the floating input box.

reduced test case

1. We need to use the m_truncation at InlineTextBox::nodeAtPoint() to make sure truncated text is ignored while hittesting.
2, We need to teach the parent RootInlineBox to be smarter at hittesting (InlineFlowBox::nodeAtPoint()) to figure out that the truncated part.

[12:57am] dhyatt: if i were writing this feature from scratch i would probably have let the child elements overflow
[12:57am] dhyatt: but shrink the root line
[12:57am] dhyatt: might be some reason why i didn't do that though
[12:58am] dhyatt: easiest fix at this point is to just hack it then prob
[12:58am] dhyatt: painting must just be hacking it
[12:58am] dhyatt: so hit testing can too
