Bug 170900 – [selectors4] css/selectors4/focus-within-006.html test from WPT is failing

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

The problem with this test is that it uses an INPUT which is focused in JavaScript:
  focusme.focus();

In WebKit this causes the text of the INPUT to be selected, which doesn't happen on Chrome and Firefox.
That's the reason why this test is failing.

Probably the solution would be to change the test upstream directly on WTP
to use something different and avoid this difference.

Just reporting this bug to track the issue as I'm importing the WTP test suite.

On top of the difference when you focus the input between WebKit, where the text gets selected, and other browsers.
We've more problems with this test, as despite it has "all: initial" the input element still uses a different font in WebKit:

This problem is related to "font-family: intial" and the differences between form elements and regular ones in WebKit (see bug #170900).

This should point to bug #168258.

To fix this I'm proposing a modification of this test upstream:
https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/5786

Once it's merged I'll import it and close this.
