Proposed patch (v1)

Due to the reliance on wall clock delay, it's rather difficult to create a regression test with current testing facility.

Added regression test.

release() on a RefPtr returns a PassRefPtr and clears out the RefPtr.  This code isn’t interested in the return value of the release() method so it would be more obvious to call clear() instead.

It’s not great to name a test after the Apple Radar bug number for the problem. Since people outside Apple have limited or no access to Radar we try to keep the amount of Radar references in the bugs and tests to a minimum. But I suppose we can live with it for a Mac-specific test.

Should include a newline.

It’s really bad to have a 1 second delay in a regression test. We want the layout tests to run really quickly. There is a debugging machinery for making time move forward quickly: the eventSender.leapForward function. However, if the timing check is in code outside WebKit perhaps that won’t work. You need to at least give that a try.

How does the test output indicate the lack of the underline? Is there something in the render tree dump that would be there if the underline was present?

I will generate a new patch to correct some of following issues.

I will use webkit bug number or more descriptive name in the future.

leapForward() didn't work in this case, because the timer is inside WebCore.

The underline is drawn based on marker value "CorrectionIndicator", which seems to be contained in the dump.

I take it back. It seems a pixel comparison is necessary. It would be helpful to generalize hasSpellingMarker() function to allow query on any marker value.

I don’t think we should land a regression test that takes more than a second. We have two choices:

    1) Make the leapForward trick work with WebCore timers.
    2) Put this test into the manual tests directory until we can figure out a way to automate it without a 1 second delay.

What's the proper location for manual tests? Would 0.35 second be acceptable? We need at least 0.3 second.
