Description rajiv.ramanasankaran 2010-05-07 15:55:37 PDT
QWebPage::inputMethodQuery(Qt::ImCursorPosition) returns the end index (renderTextControl->selectionEnd()) of a selection inside an input field instead of the current cursor position. 

QWebPage::inputMethodQuery(Qt::ImAnchorPosition) returns the start index (renderTextControl->selectionStart()) of a selection inside an input field instead of the anchor position.

To be specific: In Webkit, the START and END indices always correspond to the left and right edges of a selection irrespective of the current cursor direction. The bug is that the current implementation of QWebPage::inputMethodQuery() assumes incorrectly that the anchor position is the START index and that the current cursor position always corresponds to the END index.

Please consider adding an auto-test to it.

Thanks! Just to clarify:
I am working on a patch (including the fix and auto-tests) for submission.

Prosposed patch to fix the return values for Qt::ImCursorPosition and Qt::ImAnchorPosition in QWebPage::inputMethodQuery() when the Editor doesn't have a composition.

The patch fixes the issue of incorrect values been returned for Qt::ImCursorPosition and Qt::ImAnchorPosition in QWebPage::inputMethodQuery() when the Editor doesn't have a composition.

So is it not solvable when in Composition mode? Or not relevant? (Not a loaded question, genuinely don't know.)

Sorry I wasn't specific. The values seem to be correct in Composition mode. I don't think there is a bug in that case.

Funny, tst_qwebpage has:

    //Set selection with negative length
    inputAttributes << QInputMethodEvent::Attribute(QInputMethodEvent::Selection, 6, -5, QVariant());
    QInputMethodEvent eventSelection3("",inputAttributes);
    page->event(&eventSelection3);

    //ImAnchorPosition
    variant = page->inputMethodQuery(Qt::ImAnchorPosition);
    anchorPosition =  variant.toInt();
    QCOMPARE(anchorPosition, 1);

    //ImCursorPosition
    variant = page->inputMethodQuery(Qt::ImCursorPosition);
    cursorPosition =  variant.toInt();
    QCOMPARE(cursorPosition, 6);

which would suggest the opposite to me, but I don't know too much about input methods.

This test case causes the Editor to go into composistion mode and therefore QWebPage::inputMethodQuery() returns the correct values. I don't know whether it is supposed to go into composition mode in this case or not (And that is the concern I raised in an email to you last week since this test case was part of your commit #58218). The test case I am fixing is when the editor is not in composition mode and is different than this.
