Description Ojan Vafai 2009-06-17 10:36:12 PDT
<pre contentEditable id=bar>foo</pre>

If you select all, then copy/paste the above, you get:
<pre contentEditable id=bar><span ...><pre contentEditable id=bar>foo</pre></span></pre>

Which is clearly wrong. :) You get the same for headers and a few other tags.

Actually, I think this is the wrong change. There's a more general bug that should be fixed and then this would go away. 

<div contentEditable>
  a
  <pre id=foo>bar</pre>
  b
</div>

Select "bar". Then copy and paste over it. You get 

<div contentEditable>
  a
  <pre id="foo"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; white-space: normal; "><pre id="foo">bar</pre></span></pre>
  b
</div>

Which is also wrong. The contents should be unmodified if you copy and then paste over what you just copied.

Doesn't fix the general case.

Removing r+ to get out of approved patches queue.
Comment 5 Ryosuke Niwa 2009-08-14 11:32:10 PDT
I haven't looked into the bug, but my intuition is that copying special ancestor block is fine.  It's just that we need to delete them when we are pasting.  i.e. we shouldn't be pasting pre/h2 when the same element wraps the selection.
Comment 6 Ryosuke Niwa 2010-03-21 01:47:46 PDT
+tony since this bug seems to be related to the bug 26937 and the bug 34564.

These are failing because they need rebaselines.

Chromium Windows/Linux specific rebaselines.

I'll really appreciate if you could also review my patch for https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34564.  The patch will eliminate the wrapping span in most cases and pave the way to get rid of Apple style span.
Comment 18 Ryosuke Niwa 2011-08-05 18:38:02 PDT
Oops, I realized that this patch caused a bunch of regression while I was working on the bug 34564 :(

e.g. It will ignore styles set on block elements such as div. In the following example, if you copy "world" into "hello", the text is no longer aligned to the right.
http://simple-rte.rniwa.com/?editor=%3Cp%20style%3D%22text-align%3A%20right%3B%22%3E%3Cbr%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp%3Eworld%3C/p%3E&designmode=false&script=document.getElementById%28%27editor%27%29.focus%28%29%3B

I'm going to rollout the patch, and I think about how to fix it properly.
Comment 19 Ryosuke Niwa 2011-08-05 18:41:44 PDT
Basically, we need a function like below to make sure the element we're splitting doesn't have attributes to preserve.

static bool hasIdenticalWrapper(Node* startNode, HTMLElement* element)
{
    if (!startNode)
        return false;

    for (Node* wrapper = startNode; wrapper; wrapper = wrapper->firstChild() == wrapper->lastChild() ? wrapper->firstChild() : 0) {
        if (!wrapper->hasTagName(element->tagQName()) || !wrapper->isHTMLElement())
            continue;

        NamedNodeMap* attributesOnElement = element->attributeMap();
        if (!attributesOnElement)
            return true;

        bool checkStyle = false;
        unsigned i;
        for (i = 0; i < attributesOnElement->length(); i++) {
            Attribute* attribute = attributesOnElement->attributeItem(i);
            if (attribute->name() == styleAttr) {
                checkStyle = true;
                continue;
            }
            if (attribute->value() != element->getAttribute(attribute->name()))
                break;
        }
        if (i >= attributesOnElement->length()) {
            if (checkStyle) {
                RefPtr<CSSMutableStyleDeclaration> styleOfWrapper = static_cast<HTMLElement*>(wrapper)->inlineStyleDecl();
                RefPtr<CSSMutableStyleDeclaration> styleOfElement = element->getInlineStyleDecl();
                if (styleOfWrapper && styleOfWrapper->length()) {
                    if (!styleOfElement || styleOfElement->length())
                        continue;
                    styleOfWrapper = styleOfWrapper->copy();
                    styleOfElement->diff(styleOfWrapper.get());
                    if (styleOfWrapper->length())
                        continue;
                }
            }
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

Now that I think about it more carefully, the trick I thought I can use to fix this bug was based on a false assumption, and this bug indeed depends on the bug 34564.

work in progress

Now that the bug 34564 has been fixed, I can tackle this bug again.   I still have to add logic to preserve styles of removed block elements, and about 15 tests still fail but this is a good start.

I believe this bug has been fixed by my other patches.
