Rename absoluteQuadsForRange and InlineTextBox::selectionRect to local*

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

RenderText::absoluteQuadsForRange() has:

            FloatRect rect = absoluteQuadForTextBox(box, start, end, useSelectionHeight);
            if (!rect.isZero())
                quads.append(localToAbsoluteQuad(rect));

This is converting local to absolute twice.

Actually I think it's just an unfortunate (and incorrect) name. absoluteQuadForTextBox doesn't convert to absolute, I'll make sure this is the case and rename it to localQuadForTextBox.

Not sure this is right. quadForTextBox() calls selectionRect(), which uses selectionRectForRepaint(). The 'for repaint' indicates that it's already been converted to the coordinate system of the repaintContainer (or the root).

If there aren't repaint tests for this code, you should make some.

The change 91763 didn't change change any logic apart from replacing a check for (!r.isEmpty()) with (r.height()) to match absoluteRectsForRange. Just as before it calls selectionRect and then adjust the rect and converts it to the absolute coordinate space using localToAbsoluteQuad.

As far as I can tell quadForTextBox calls InlineTextBox::selectionRect which in turn returns the selection rect in the local coordinate space.

There are a couple of tests that cover this code already and they helped me catch a a mistake in the first version of my patch.

If you still do not trust this to be correct I'd gladly revert change 91763.

Ah, InlineTextBox::selectionRect() is in local coords, RenderObject::selectionRect() is in "repaint" coords. The former should be renamed ("localSelectionRect()"?)

Makes sense, I'll make the change.
Thanks!

RenderText::absoluteRectsForRange still has:

The confusing comment remains and I have no idea if it's true or not anymore (but it seems not).

[Tim Horton]

It's still there :(
