Bug 43385 – Range::create should not be calling deprecatedEditingOffset and node on start and end

• Component: HTML Editing
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Ryosuke Niwa]

The version of Range::create that takes two positions calls deprecatedEditingOffset() and node() on start and end to create a range object.  Since these two methods are deprecated and have side-effects, we should be calling containerNode() and computeOffsetInContainerNode() instead.

A simple patch coming with the following change:

 PassRefPtr<Range> Range::create(PassRefPtr<Document> ownerDocument, const Position& start, const Position& end)
 {
-    // FIXME: we shouldn't be using deprecatedEditingOffset here
-    return adoptRef(new Range(ownerDocument, start.node(), start.deprecatedEditingOffset(), end.node(), end.deprecatedEditingOffset()));
+    return adoptRef(new Range(ownerDocument, start.containerNode(), start.computeOffsetInContainerNode(), end.containerNode(), end.computeOffsetInContainerNode()));
 }

I wonder if this is tesable.  It's obviously wrong, but I wonder how we would trigger it.

This should make it so we don't need to call rangeCompliantPosition on positions before passing them to this function. :)  So we could remove that in a later patch.
