Bug 229330 – Implement hit testing bits of inert subtrees

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Tim Nguyen (:ntim)]

Depending on whether we want to affect JS APIs or not, we can either:
* Change hit testing code to treat inert nodes as pointer-events: none, like in: https://github.com/nt1m/WebKit/commit/991684e0f3b810e566329e0c031342de613933b0
-> This is close to Firefox's implementation
-> Firefox argues the spec should be this way: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5650

* Treat inert nodes more like isDisabledFormControl() (e.g. having similar checks when triggering events)
-> More similar to Chrome's implementation
-> Closer to latest inert attribute PR by the Chromium team: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/4288


In the context of <dialog>, I think both approaches are acceptable wrt. the spec and similarly easy. Hit testing also doesn't matter much generally since everything is behind a backdrop in a modal dialog context. This is more relevant for the inert attribute implementation.

You should include this into the bitfield with the rest of the booleans.

Note to self, this could use an inert attribute feature flag check (though not sure if that slows down the SharingResolver or not)

Please split this up to pieces that can be reviewed separately (along the lines of "Add effectiveInert bit to RenderStyle")

This would read better as a lambda.

What should happen when you have an active <dialog inert>?
