[iOS][WK2] Use a better concept to describe the reason we defer zooming a focused element: selectabiltiy

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Daniel Bates]

In iOS WebKit2 we have made a "thing" (or concept) out of deferred zooming of focused elements. We wrapped up this concept into a helper function called shouldDeferZoomingToSelectionWhenRevealingFocusedElement() that tells us whether we should defer zooming or not. The problem is that this seems like an indirect way to describe the actual concept the UI process is talking about: text/element selectability – whether the focused element has selectable text (like a text field). I think this is the concept we are trying to describe. The deferment of zooming is a side effect of an implementation detail that zooming of selectable elements reveals the selection and we may not have an up-to-date selection rect to reveal sometimes. When we don't have an up-to-date selection rect then we need to defer zooming until we do.

Note that this is a new case. Old code didn't consider DataTime, but we should. It acts like a text field (or at least does on the Mac).

Note that this is a new case. Old code didn't consider Week, but we should. It acts like a text field (or at least does on the Mac). This type appears to behave weirdly on iOS currently. We need to fix bug #158327.

Wenson wants something more precise, mayContainSelectableText.

Nit - mayContainSelectableText?

Nit - maybe leave a FIXME referencing the bug number (158327) here/

I am not going to do this because it does not make sense to me to do this. This was just a remark to the reader, you, of this patch to point out that the existing code did not handle <input type="week"> – that in and of itself was a bug in the old code. I mentioned bug #158327 because it turns out (coincidentally?) that there are more bugs around <input type="week"> on iOS. So, the omission of WebKit::InputType::Week turns out not to be the thing that broke the <input type="week">, but it still wasn't correct.
