move caret by word in visual order returns wrong result when caret itself is at word boundary

• Component: HTML Editing
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Xiaomei Ji]

positionBeforeNext() does not work for all cases.

Given "abc def hij" as an example:
if caret is between "b' and 'c', it returns position between ' ' and 'd'.
But if caret is between 'c' and ' ', it returns position between ' ' and 'h', which is wrong.

Same problem for positionAfterPreviousWord().

Why do we have different strings in expected result?  That seems wrong.

the current behavior is moving from offset 3 in node "FFZ LIG" moves cursor to offset 3 (cursor stays the same position).
It actually should move cursor to offset 0 in node "ABD DSU".

When the structure is complicated (with embedding elements and bidirectional text) the cursor start and end node might be different.

Why are we removing this test?

It was added to address comment #18 in bug 57806 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57806#c18.
It is a very specific test just to test a specific path works (at that time, the whole patch is not completed implemented yet).

Now since we have the whole patch ready, and I added test case to test word break stops at right position on *every* visible position. So this specific test is covered, and we are no longer need it anymore.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

hm.. the result in QT is weird. Maybe visible position in QT is different, which  is not likely.
Or maybe the nextWordPosition and previousWordPosition in QT has bug.

temporarily put the test in QT's skip list while investigating.
