Bug 250207 – Fix scrollbar thumb drag cancellation in RTL mode

• Status: NEW
• Component: Scrolling

[Ahmad Saleem]

Hi Team,

While going through Blink's commit, I came across another filing testcase:

Test Case - https://jsfiddle.net/dbskt3jo/

^ Try to pick horizontal scrollbar knob and scroll on left side, it will not do anything in Safari 16.2. It works in Chrome Canary 111 and Firefox Nightly 110 and move the scrollbar on drag while selecting knob.

Blink Commit - https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=175100

WebKit Source - https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/platform/Scrollbar.cpp#311

Just wanted to raise so we can fix this bug as well.

Thanks!

Tried: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/8355

NOTE: The portion of code, this is trying to modify is within platform 'if' block to restrict it to non-iOS, so we might need to skip this test on iOS.

 m_scrollableArea.scrollToOffsetWithoutAnimation(m_orientation, (m_dragOrigin + m_scrollableArea.minimumScrollPosition().y()));

^ This does not fix test.

 m_scrollableArea.scrollToOffsetWithoutAnimation(m_orientation, (m_dragOrigin + m_scrollableArea.minimumScrollPosition().x()));

^ This does not fix test.

Plus 'm_orientation' or (orientation()) also don't work similar to Blink patch.

Note - this seems to be interesting as well: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=161649

^ Will build WebKit ToT to test updated testcase to confirm whether WebKit suffer from also 'typo' error or not, which leads to breaking horizontal drag.

This also affects scrolling in reversed flex containers, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221347#c11

Basically scrolling to the right of the origin is broken.

Actually this looks like it's maybe a duplicate of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256995 ? Which got fixed in https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/22189 I think.
