[Qt] "hitTestContent" function bug for <span> tag

[kkpatel]

I have implemented a code to get a name of html tag from webpage where user clicked.
To get tag name, I have used “hitTestContent” function. Below is the code which I used in Qt 4.8 demo browser:-

void WebView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    m_page->m_pressedButtons = event->buttons();
    m_page->m_keyboardModifiers = event->modifiers();
    QWebView::mousePressEvent(event);
    QWebFrame *pFrame = m_page->frameAt(event->pos());
    QWebHitTestResult HitResult = pFrame->hitTestContent(event->pos());
    QWebElement WebElement = HitResult.element();

    if (!WebElement.isNull())  //Control does not enter in this loop for <span> tag
        {
            qDebug() << "Mouse Pressed:" << WebElement.localName() << WebElement.parent().localName();
        }
}

I am able to get almost all tag name when I clicked on webpage. But this code fails for <span> tag. I have checked this in Qt 4.7, but the result is same.

Do you have a test case?

I suspect this is a duplicate of bug #87341, which I hope will be fixed.

I am experiencing a problem (Qt 4.7.1) with QWebHitTestResult::element(). Whenever any TEXT is hit by the point passed to hitTestContent(), the element returned is null, even though the QWebHitTestResult::boundingRect() is correct and valid.
