[Qt] Find zoomable area using area-based hit-testing

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Allan Sandfeld Jensen]

The current implementation of tap-to-zoom uses a normal hit-testing and simply walks the DOM-tree to find a suitable zoomable area.

This fails to catch almost all cases of CSS layout that doesn't follow flow. A better solution is to use the areas returned by a rect-based hit-testing and returning the best zoomable area from the result.

What happens if it has a rotation transform? bounding box ?

I believe there is a toRenderBox method

Yes. This is similar to the current code. Also in this case bounding box is not an approximation. The bounding box is truly what we want to zoom to. I don't think UI's are ready for zoom and rotate :D
