The default backspace event handler should mark the event as handled if navigation succeeds

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Ananta Iyengar]

The EventHandler::defaultBackspaceEventHandler function should mark the event
as handled only if the back/forward navigation was successful.

This breaks ChromeFrame (which embeds Chrome->Webkit in IE)where some of the pages
are rendered in the host browser like IE.

Scenario:-
1. IE navigates to foo.com
2. A navigation to bar.com which renders in ChromeFrame.
3. Hitting backspace on bar.com should go back to foo.com which does not happen as the
   backspace event is eaten by webkit.

The patch cannot be landed with OOPS, so you need to explain why there are no new tests instead of leaving the line as is.

This is not accurate. The patch fixes a bug, so of course there is change in functionality.

Ugh, sorry that I didn't notice it before. You have removed the Not Reviewed line that was added by prepare-ChangeLog, so commit queue won't be able to put the reviewer name in. Please add it back (I suggest running prepare-ChangeLog again to see how exactly it should look).

In normal case, it feels weird to let the event fly further if we happen to be at the first or last page, but block it otherwise. But this is what we do elsewhere in this file, so it's perfectly fine for this patch.
