Bug 26214 – RenderTextControl: Remove ASSERT for checking that visiblePositionForIndex()'s return is not null.

• Component: Forms
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Takeshi Yoshino]

visiblePositionForIndex can return an instance that returns true for
isNotNull(). One of common case is when the corresponding input element has
"-webkit-user-select: none" style attribute. We should allow the case instead
of putting ASSERT.

Why does this need to be guarded in an if?  Doesn't VisibleSelection(foo, null) result in an empty selection?  or does that ASSERT too?

Yes, creation of VisibleSelection can be put outside if-clause. Fixed.

The line
ASSERT(startPosition.deepEquivalent().node()->shadowAncestorNode() == node() && endPosition.deepEquivalent().node()->shadowAncestorNode() == node());
must be guarded into if-clause because deepEquivalent() can be null. In fact, I observe shadowAncestorNode() called with this=null.
