I don't really understand this description. Could you clarify?

I'm not sure I can describe it well, but let me try.

WebEditorClient::requestCheckingOfString uses a closure (for completionHandler), and it uses |request| object in it. |request| will be destroyed when exiting from requestCheckingOfString.

However, WebCore::TextCheckingRequest is not an NSObject (or a primitive value), it won't be copied correctly when creating a closure (maybe). So we should not touch |request| in a closure.

So I copied necessary fields to stack.

Ah I see. I think I get what you mean. I'll paraphrase it like something along the line of:

The bug was caused by the closure object created in requestCheckingOfString accessing test checking request's member variables even though the request object is not an NSObject and allocated in stack. This resulted in the closure not being able to access those variables when invoked. Fixed the bug by making local copies of those member variables.
