Bug 10881

Selecting the entire range of an inline element causes the element to be deleted and replaced by a <span> element with class="apple-style-span". The following code reproduces the problem. This is an attempt at a workaround for another bug (to be reported). WebView generally has problems with selectedDOMRange navigation (keyboard and programmatically) editing problems when working near the bondary of an element. if ([selectedRange collapsed]) { textPlaceholder = [theDOMDocument createTextNode: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c%c%c", 8203, 8203, 8203]]; textPlaceholder2 = [theDOMDocument createTextNode: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c", 8203]]; textPlaceholder3 = [theDOMDocument createTextNode: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c", 8203]]; [newElement appendChild:textPlaceholder]; [selectedRange insertNode:newElement]; if (debugState == YES) NSLog(@"the selected range is: %@", selectedRange); // if these are set to 0 and 3 (selecting the entire range of newElement the newElement // will be replaced by an apple style span wrapping the entire paragraph set to // "font-style:normal" and another set to "font-style:bold" [selectedRange setStart:textPlaceholder :1]; [selectedRange setEnd:textPlaceholder :2]; elementInsertionRange = selectedRange; if (debugState == YES) NSLog(@"the selected range is: %@", selectedRange); [webView display]; } else { aFragment = [selectedRange cloneContents]; NSLog(@"aFragment is %@", [aFragment textContent]); [newElement appendChild:aFragment]; // [selectedRange surroundContents:newElement]; [webView replaceSelectionWithNode:newElement]; }
