Bug 24006 – The option-mouseevents layout test should not depend on list box sizes.

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Marc-André Decoste]

As suggested by comments in bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3248, I create a new bug to track the fact that the Layout Test written for this bug, which is to test the notification of mouse events on option elements within a list box select element, depends on the size of the list boxes, which can be different based on the usage of WebKit in products other than Safari, and could even evolve within Safari at one point.

Someone else should review this - I don't know if it's ok for list boxes' sizes to ever change.

Ping? Anybody else could look at this?

I don't really understand this change.  How are you changing the coordinate so that they are no longer dependent on list box size?

[Marc-André Decoste]

By fixing the position of all the list boxes in an absolute way, the size don't affect the position of subsequent list boxes.

Does this answer your question?

Yes, now that I read it again, it makes sense.  Assuming this has left a reasonable amount of space between boxes so that all platforms can pass, this is r=me.
