Bug 125399 – Make indent command to work with positional CSS selector, e.g. :first-child, with visibility

• Status: NEW
• Component: HTML Editing

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/18413a6b5636dd13ee749cbfe63c3b347563b35d

This patch changes to compute range of contents in list item before inserting list element in IndentOutdentCommand::tryIndentingAsListItem() to avoid visibility change resulted by inserting list element.

The crash, assertion isn't Element, is caused by CompositeEditCommand::cloneParagraphUnderNewElement(start, end, outerNode, blockElement) tries to move nodes in ancestries until Document rather than limited to outerNode. This wrong |start| is passed as node before list element in VisiblePosition of start of list item contents. When list item is visibile, |start| is list item. Although, in this case, the list item is hidden, because the list item is second child element.

Here is sample HTML before calling CompositeEditCommand::moveParagraphWithClones(), which calls cloneParagraphUnderNewElement() in IndentOutdentCommand::tryIndentingAsListItem()

abcd<ul><UL></UL><li>xyz</li></ul>
- <UL></UL> is inserted list
- <li>xyz</li> is the list item to move

Ryosuke/Enrica/Darin: Could one of you have a look at this patch? I'd like to review it but I don't feel qualified.

The bug title should be modified to reflect the fact this is a crash fix.

This comment doesn't explain why this is the right thing to do.
It appears to me that we should be failing out before calling moveParagraphWithClones
in the case where start & end up moving to unexpected places.

We can't have DOCTYPE here?

I tried to debug that why is this wrong after the 'insertNodeBefore'. I tried to find a way how to check that the validity of 'start' and 'end' positions after  'insertNodeBefore'. I didn't getting closer. If you have some idea how can we do that, then I can do it. I couldn't figure out better fix then this for that assertion.

Hi,

Apologies that your patch was not reviewed in a timely manner. Since it's now quite old, I am removing it from the review request queue. Please consider rebasing it on trunk and resubmitting.

To increase the chances of getting a review, consider using 'Tools/Scripts/webkit-patch upload --suggest-reviewers' to CC reviewers who might be interested in this bug.

This still compiles but we have imported test case from Blink here:

https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/LayoutTests/imported/blink/editing/execCommand/indent-with-first-child-crash.html

and we don't crash it.

Do we need to do anything here?

NOTE - I tried merging locally and it merge and compiles. If needed, I am happy to do PR.

Just to add this patch seems to be got undone by following Blink commit:

Merging this:

```

// We should clone all the children of the list item for indenting purposes. However, in case the current
    // selection does not encompass all its children, we need to explicitally handle the same. The original
    // list item too would require proper deletion in that case.
    if (end.anchorNode() == selectedListItem.get() || end.anchorNode()->isDescendantOf(selectedListItem->lastChild()))
        moveParagraphWithClones(start, end, newList.get(), selectedListItem.get());
    else {
        moveParagraphWithClones(start, positionAfterNode(selectedListItem->lastChild()), newList.get(), selectedListItem.get());
        removeNode(*selectedListItem);
    }

```

leads to one WPT progression and matching with Blink / Chromium:

> https://wpt.fyi/results/editing/run/indent.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned=&q=indent.html

This one:

>> [["indent",""]] "<ol><li>[foo]<br>bar<li>baz</ol>" compare innerHTML	

This one is passing in other browsers while failing only in WebKit / Safari - so it would be good to merge this and align with others: https://wpt.fyi/results/editing/run/indent.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned=&q=safari%3Afail+chrome%3Apass+firefox%3Apass

Any thoughts?
