Bug 263302 – [iOS] range.toString() ignores newlines

• Status: NEW
• Component: HTML Editing

[Morgan Redding]

When a range includes newlines, range.toString() does not include them.

This bug occurs 100% of the time and does *not* occur on Macbook Safari (or Chrome). 

Also "window.getSelection().toString()" *does* include newlines (i.e. there's probably already a bug-free implementation you can use in the webkit code base).

Bug probably occurs on all iPhones/iPads, but I've only specifically reproduced it in the simulator for "iPhone 15 Pro Max" and "iPhone 14 Pro Max".

navigator.userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/15E148"

Repro steps:

```
myDiv.innerHTML = '<div>a</div><div>b</div><br><div>c</div>';
let range = document.createRange();
range.setStartBefore(myDiv);
range.setEndAfter(myDiv);
console.log(range.toString());
```

Expected:

"a
b

c"

Actual:

"abc"

[Morgan Redding]

Probably something like this should work (I cannot seem to run the tests on my machine):

1) add `#include "../editing/TextIterator.h"` to "Source/WebCore/dom/Range.cpp"
2) change "Range::toString() const" to

```
 String Range::toString() const
 {
     auto range = makeSimpleRange(*this);
     return plainText(range, options);
 }
```

Morgan,

do you intend to send a PR?
Or would you like someone else to do it?

[Morgan Redding]

Oh, sorry for the ambiguity. I’ve never submitted a PR for WebKit and can’t seem to get the tests running so I’d really appreciate if someone else could submit a PR!
