Bug 22634 – Safari crashes when I try to do a drag-and-drop of selected text in Google presentations

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: New Bugs

[Anantha Keesara]

Steps:
1. Login into google docs and open a Presently with text.
2. Highlight some text.
3. Try to drag and drop it to a new location in the slide (a small plus-sign icon appears next to the mouse pointer)

Issue: Browser crashes.
Nightly tested: 38794

Should be easy find and to fix.  I'll investigate today.

Things seem to get confused in ReplaceSelectionCommand::doApply. Specifically the second time through we end up here:

    if (shouldMergeStart(selectionStartWasStartOfParagraph, fragment.hasInterchangeNewlineAtStart())) {
        ....
        if (startOfParagraph(endOfInsertedContent) == startOfParagraphToMove)
            insertNodeAt(createBreakElement(document()).get(), endOfInsertedContent.deepEquivalent());


The problem is with insertNodeAt. The page has some javascript such that when insertNodeAt is invoked the script ends up calling back with the command "delete" to delete the text we're trying to insert at. Here's the trace showing the remove being invoked:

Once the node has been deleted everything gets confused.

Perhaps we should bail after insertNodeAt if the parent is null.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

This may be the same as bug 19066.  Marking it as "depends on" even though it might not actually "depend on" fixing that bug.  Investigating both today.

[Scott Violet]

Adding:

            if (!startOfParagraphToMove.deepEquivalent().node()->parent()) {
                // Inserting the break resulted in deleting the node we're going to move.
                return;
            }

Right after:

        if (startOfParagraph(endOfInsertedContent) == startOfParagraphToMove) {
            insertNodeAt(createBreakElement(document()).get(), endOfInsertedContent.deepEquivalent());

In ReplaceSelectionCommand fixes the bug, but when attempting to drag the third time a different crash occurs.

Seems to me any place in ReplaceSelectionCommand that does mutation needs to make sure the document is sane before continuing. This is based on my limited knowledge of webkit though, so I could of course be completely wrong.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

Here is the stack trace of when we hit the first ASSERT:
    ASSERT(isStartOfParagraph(startOfParagraphToMove));

startOfParagraphToMove is a CharacterData node (or a TextNode?) which is not in any document.  It's got a null parent and null document.

I'm a little surprised at the code path taken by this code:

        if (dragIsMove(innerFrame->selection())) {
            bool smartMove = innerFrame->selectionGranularity() == WordGranularity 
                          && innerFrame->editor()->smartInsertDeleteEnabled() 
                          && dragData->canSmartReplace();
            applyCommand(MoveSelectionCommand::create(fragment, dragCaret.base(), smartMove));
        } else {
            if (setSelectionToDragCaret(innerFrame, dragCaret, range, point))
                applyCommand(ReplaceSelectionCommand::create(m_document, fragment, true, dragData->canSmartReplace(), chosePlainText));   // WE TAKE THIS PATH
        }    

I would have expected that the drag would be a "move" since I just dragged and dropped from the rich text field to the same rich text field.

    return m_document == m_dragInitiator && selection->isContentEditable() && !isCopyKeyDown();

Maybe presently (Google presentations) is doing something funny with the drag events.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

(gdb) p m_document
$1 = (class WebCore::Document *) 0x754ca00
(gdb) p m_dragInitiator
$2 = (class WebCore::Document *) 0x7459800

Yup, clearly we're dragging and dropping between separate documents in presently, even though it doesn't appear that way to the user.

This fixes the crashers I'm seeing:

Eric, if you think this is the right approach and looks good I'll clean it up, try and create a layout test and submit a proper fix. What do you think?

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

I'm not able to reproduce this in "writely" (docs.google.com, the word-like Documents portion)

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

Ok, found out that Presently is creating an overlay iframe, which snags the drag.  So the drag does go cross-document.  Also, in this fancy iframe, they're signing up for the DOMNodeInserted and calling:

document.execCommand("SelectAll");
document.execCommand("Delete");
document.execCommand("SelectAll");

from within their DOMNodeInserted handler. :)

No wonder WebKit is having kittens here.

This test case could possibly be reduced further.  But it shows what presently is doing at least.

This is not a fix I'm proud of.  But I don't know of a more elegant way to do this yet.  We need to find a nice way to re-write large chunks of the editing code to be mutation event safe!

The attached fix seems to fix bug 24302 as well.  I'll dupe them.
