Bug 103621 – Caret is incorrectly painted for a contenteditable <div> containing a <br> in vertical writing mode

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: HTML Editing

Testcase

The position of the caret is not computed correctly when a contenteditable <div> contains only a <br> element in the vertical writing mode.

If the <br> element is followed by some some text, the caret is drawn correctly, i.e. at the start of the contenteditable block.
Again, in the horizontal writing mode as well the caret is painted at the right location.

Have uploaded a testcase for this issue. A caret should be drawn within the block upon loading the page.

We should be calling logicalWidth & logicalHeight instead.

Thanks for the review rniwa.

The width and the height values returned for linesBoundingBox would already be adjusted as per the writing mode, but the same is not true for borderBoundingBox.

Thus we should use logicalWidth and logicalHeight for borderBoundingBox since these return the width and height values in accordance with the writing mode.

As the borderBoundingBox internally calls on the pixelSnappedBorderBoxRect() have made use of the pixelSnappedLogicalHeight() and pixelSnappedLogicalWidth() methods which too take care of the writing mode.

Anyone know why this function doesn't already check the linesBoundingBox of RenderInlines?

I don’t get this… pixelSnappedLogicalHeight already checks style()->isHorizontalWritingMode(). If we’re to flip values again, then we’re back to square one. RenderText::linesBoundingBox also takes the writing mode into account.

This happens because internally RenderText::linesBoundingBox() does a logicalRightSide - logicalLeftSide to return the height value, when in the vertical writing mode.

Now, our logicalRightSide is nothing but curr->logicalRight() which again internally handles the writing mode.
So in effect we are reversing the value in RenderText::linesBoundingBox() itself and hence the need to reverse it again in Position::hasRenderedNonAnonymousDescendantsWithHeight() arises.

In my opinion our RenderText::linesBoundingBox() should be internally changed to compute values as:
float x = logicalLeftSide;
float y = firstTextBox()->logicalTop();
float width = logicalRightSide - logicalLeftSide;
and
float height = lastTextBox()->logicalBottom() - y;

These take care of the writing mode and also, with this, there is no need for code change in Position::hasRenderedNonAnonymousDescendantsWithHeight().

I propose to put another patch with the fix in RenderText::linesBoundingBox() (as suggested above) instead of the current patch, if it seems correct.

Oh, sure. linesBoundingBox case makes sense. What I'm complaining about is:
o->style()->isHorizontalWritingMode() ? toRenderBox(o)->pixelSnappedLogicalHeight() : toRenderBox(o)->pixelSnappedLogicalWidth()

That sounds like a sensible thing to do. Perhaps we need to do that in a separate patch? Does all tests pass when you make that change?

Yes, you are indeed correct and apologize for overseeing this in my previous patch.
For RenderBox we don't really need to have a specific writing mode check again since pixelSnappedLogicalHeight() does take care of returning the appropriate value based on the writing mode.
Have made the required changes in the latest patch.

I did raise another bug for this issue, based on my prev interpretation in comment #7 above. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105409

But on further analysis (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105409#c1) have found the current implementation for RenderText::linesBoundingBox() to be correct.

Even though logicalRight() and logicalLeft() return values based on the writing mode, InlineBox's logicalHeight() and logicalWidth() don't. Their logicalness perhaps refers to the bidi logicalness as you had mentioned earlier.
Thus for our linesBoundingBox we would still require a specific writing mode check in Position::hasRenderedNonAnonymousDescendantsWithHeight().

Thanks for the detailed change log. It makes the code review much easier.

Can we add something like linesLogicalBoundingBox and flip width & height there?

It's really distracting to see these debug messages interleaving actual test results.

> LayoutTests/editing/selection/caret-in-div-containing-br-in-vertical-mode.html:25
> +    debug("The caret on the empty div, containing only the &lt;br&gt; element, should be visible. For the test to pass, the top, the width and the height of the caret rects in both the boxes should be the same.")

Why don't you merge this debug,

> LayoutTests/editing/selection/caret-in-div-containing-br-in-vertical-mode.html:33
> +    debug("To manually verify the issue, try focusing or clicking on the second box. A caret should be visible at the start position of that container.");

and this one into the description? (Add \n as needed). Also, these lines are really long for my taste.

This seems like a good idea, would you rather have me do this as a separate fix or as a part of this patch itself?

We should do it in this patch.

Hi rniwa, have uploaded another patch with the changes as suggested by you.
Have introduced linesLogicalBoundingBox() and merged the debug statements into the description.

You can just do:
IntRect rect = linesBoundingBox();

Could you hide this test when ran inside a DRT?

Setting style.display to none would work.
