Bug 119882 – Speed up moving cursor/selection up or down past non-rendered elements.

• Component: HTML Editing
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mario Sanchez Prada]

According to blink bug https://codereview.chromium.org/20049007, right now you webkit can eventually perform a O(n^2) scan through the document when moving the cursor up when at
the beginning of a document, which is pretty bad not only when in design mode or in editable elements, but also when you have enabled the caret browsing mode (EFL & GTK ports).

Patch proposal plus new Layout test

Attaching patch proposal, as backported from https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?revision=154977&view=revision

As in the case of blink (and as per Dominic's comment during the review process), the newly added test runs *very* fast (constant time) when the bug is
fixed, and times out otherwise.

Thanks for the review, Darin. Unfortunately, I'm on holidays now and with no access to my devel machine until September the 3rd, meaning that I won't be able to commit this (or anything else) until then.

Anyway, feel free to commit it yourself if you don't want to wait two weeks. Otherwise I'll do it right away once I'm back.

Thanks!
