Bug 60914 – REGRESSION(r84311): WebKit copies too much styles when copying

• Component: HTML Editing
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Apparently, http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/85090 wasn't enough.  We still get reports on http://crbug.com/80498.

Reproduction steps:
1. Go to gmail
2. Copy any mail content (without reply)
3. Pate into contentedtiable area

Expected result:
Only copied content is pasted

Actual result:
Too much style is copied with the content.

work in progress

New approach is that we'll add text decoration property in the wrapping span instead of cloning the node that has this property as a special common ancestor.

I spent whole day debugging this bug but haven't found a solution yet.  The problem is that if I add background color property like I'm doing in the work-in-progress patch, then string comparison in handleStyleSpansBeforeInsertion fail and we end up leaving style spans in paste.

592	    // FIXME: This string comparison is a naive way of comparing two styles.
593	    // We should be taking the diff and check that the diff is empty.
594	    if (styleText == static_cast<Element*>(sourceDocumentStyleSpan)->getAttribute(styleAttr)) {
595	        fragment.removeNodePreservingChildren(sourceDocumentStyleSpan);
596	        if (!isStyleSpan(copiedRangeStyleSpan.get()))
597	            return true;
598	    }
599	
600	    if (isStyleSpan(copiedRangeStyleSpan.get()) && styleText == static_cast<Element*>(copiedRangeStyleSpan.get())->getAttribute(styleAttr)) {
601	        fragment.removeNodePreservingChildren(copiedRangeStyleSpan.get());
602	        return true;
603	    }

We can't change these two style diffs either because the second diff must be done against the insertion position after sourceDocumentStyleSpan has been inserted.  Resolving this bug properly may require fixing the bug 34564 first.

Ugh... git is screwing me up.  I'll upload new patch using svn.
