Bug 190056 – REGRESSION (r230523): Caps lock indicator not shown in password field

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Daniel Bates]

Seen on macOS Mojave using system WebKit.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit <data:text/html,<input%20type="password">>.
2. Click in the password field to focus.
3. Press the Caps Lock key on the keyboard.

Then the Caps Lock indicator (a white up arrow on a gray background) is visible on the right-side of the password field. But is not visible.

This regressed in <https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/230523/> when we enabled WindowServer blocking. We only enable WindowServer blocking in macOS Mojave.

This is not correct. Caps lock state could have changed when Safari is in the background and a person may just focus the password field when they make Safari the foreground app.

Ah, I see. Perhaps we can send the modifier state from the UI process when becoming the foreground app? Thanks for reviewing!

This patch looks reasonable. A WebKit2 owner will need to review it. It would be good to add some more tests to cover the cases when the caps lock state changes when the view is not active (frontmost). Here are some more cases we should add tests for:

1. Press Caps Lock key when view is active, make view inactive, make view active again, press Caps Lock key.
2. Press Caps Lock key in inactive view, make view active, press Caps Lock key.
3. Press Caps Lock key when view is active, press Caps Lock key when view is active.
4. Press Caps Lock key when view is inactive, press Caps Lock key when view inactive.

Please add a comment to explain that we are using std::optional to support Legacy WebKit. Only in a Modern WebKit app will m_currentModifiers have a contained value.

I do not see the need for this function as there is exactly one caller. Unless you envision future callers I suggest that we remove this function and inline its implementation into the call site. If you do envision future callers then I suggest we rename this function as its name is ambiguous as to whether it updates the modifier flags of a currently being processed event from the event stream or the state of the keyboard (which accounts for keys that have persistent state such as Caps Lock). This function does the latter. Throughout the existing code we seem to use the prefix "current" to describe such "global" state; => maybe call this function updateCurrentModifierState.

> Source/WebKit/WebProcess/WebPage/WebPage.messages.in:529

For your consideration I suggest we name this SetCurrentModifierState() or UpdateCurrentModifierState() so as to be consistent with the naming of PlatformKeyboardEvent::{set, get}CurrentModifierState().

Nit: We prefix static member variables with "s_" instead of "m_" by <https://webkit.org/code-style-guidelines/#names-data-members>.

Not at all, I was looking for a way to deactivate/activate the view in WebKitTestRunner. Perhaps the best way is to use the event sender to generate a click inside/outside the view? I will look into this :)

Thank you for adding more sub tests. Can we make this output more meaningful? I cannot makes heads or tails as to what this output means without reading the actual test code. We should make it the output easy to understand to expedite triaging in case of failure.

It feels pretty weird that this is all ifdef'd. Can we not just keep track of the state everywhere and only read it on platforms where we need it?

Hmm, there's still a lot of #ifdefs here. Is there a reason that this isn't just cross platform code?

Thanks for reviewing, Tim! I am attempting to move more to cross-platform in latest patch.

It's a bit subtle that this variable is set in WebContent process and it's not in UI process.
I would have preferred to have two set of functions but I think that would have too many dependencies to update.
Why don't we add a helper function like PlatformKeyboardEvent::currentStateOfModifierKeys() which has this logic
as I'm suggesting below with a comment saying that this is set only in WebContent process.

Can we add a new helper function to PlatformKeyboardEvent which returns OptionSet<PlatformEvent::Modifier>?
Specifically, we'd call GetCurrentKeyModifiers() twice here so so it would be nice to avoid that.
e.g. PlatformKeyboardEvent::currentStateOfModifierKeys()?
