Bug 60840 – WebKit2: Smart cut&paste is broken

• Component: HTML Editing
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open e.g. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea
2. Double click a word
3. Cmd+X

Expected results: the word is cut, only one space of the two that were surrounding it remains.
Actual results: both spaces remain.

All we likely need to do is to set a preference. I'm not sure, but we may not be using "Mac editing behavior" at all in WK2, losing a lot of other important features.

No, this doesn't affect editing behavior, only this one feature.

I don't understand the first part here. smartInsertDelete is enabled when [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:WebSmartInsertDeleteEnabled] returns nil?

Yes. It should be enabled for users who never touched this preference in context menu. Here is what WebKit1 does in -[WebViewPrivate init]:

    smartInsertDeleteEnabled = ![[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:WebSmartInsertDeleteEnabled]
        || [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:WebSmartInsertDeleteEnabled];
