Bug 154734 – Web Inspector: Custom bezier curve editor controlpoints left beyond panel can't be easily reached again

• Status: NEW
• Component: Web Inspector

There’s no way to retrieve control points that have bene dragged out of view.

The view should probably scale to fit the bounds of the curve and the control points.

You actually can retrieve the controlpoints as the code chooses the closest point to the current mouse position when the user clicks on the bezier area.

If we are going to scale, should it only happen once the user lets go of a controlpoint  (it resizes smaller if there was previously one offscreen and resizes larger if one is currently offscreen)? It should also only be a vertical scaling as you can't drag the controlpoints offscreen to the left or right.

Vertical scale-to-fit when you let go sounds good to me.
