• Component: Media
• Status: NEW ---

[Brendan Long]

We left TextTrackCue's constructor around for legacy reasons when we added VTTCue, but Blink is removing it, so maybe we should too:

By removing following line:

https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/html/track/TextTrackCue.idl#50

We also progress following WPT test case:

https://wpt.fyi/results/html/dom/idlharness.https.html%3Fexclude=(Document%7CWindow%7CHTML.*)?label=master&label=experimental&aligned=&q=safari%3Afail

> TextTrackCue interface object length

Will do PR.
