Test case to reproduce the bug

This bug is the first one of several issues we have with selection and out-of-flow elements. 

Attached a reduced case to reproduce the issue. Selecting from any point inside the float element and dragging outside its visible area will cause the selection to change it's visible boundaries, in a very weird and unpredictable way. 

This particular issue address the case of float elements children of an in-flow block-level box. In this scenario, we use the LayoutBlock hit testing logic to determine the position of the selection point. Since we exclude float elements from the valid candidates, we end up setting the parent node. This logic implies that original start/end selection points will be transposed.

Could anybody give any hint about the reason of this io-simulator specific failures ? It looks like the eventSender based selection is not working at all in the simulator. Is that the case ?

Unfortunately, the EventSender.mouseDown() and friends are empty stubs on iOS WebKit2 (see Tools/WebKitTestRunner/InjectedBundle/ios/EventSenderProxyIOS.mm); there are a few existing selection-related LayoutTests that use UIScriptController to synthesize text selection gestures instead, but those don't run in OpenSource.

I think you'll need to mark these as [ Fail ] or [ Skip ] in LayoutTests/platform/ios-wk2/TestExpectations.
Comment 30 Simon Fraser (smfr) 2017-09-20 08:52:16 PDT
Right, EventSender does not simulate mouse events on iOS. You should probably skip the tests on iOS.

For some examples, see: editing/selection/character-granularity-rect.html, long-press-then-drag-down-to-change-selected-text.html.

UIScriptController.longPressAtPoint() is supported in OpenSource and can be used to select text, but any tests that additionally depend on tap gestures (e.g. to begin editing text fields) are skipped.
