Bug 142702 – [iOS] Presenting a modal sheet on top of a WKWebView causes it to lose focused, active state

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

When a view controller is presented modally on top of a WKWebView, the web view is removed from the view hierarchy. This causes it to resign first responder status, and to signal the DOM that it is no longer in an active, focused window. In particular, this will cause any focused input element to lose focus. The result is that, for example, when focusing a credit card number field on a webpage and using Safari to capture credit card information from the camera, which involves a modal sheet, the field is no longer focused after dismissing the sheet.

I really think we need a name here that indicates that this returns a block. I can't think of a name though :(

Many (most?) iOS layout tests crash here with a NULL deref after this change:
