[Minutes] Editing WG — 2/9/2023

[08:10] <whsieh> johanneswilm: first issue — delayed clipboard rendering 417
[08:11] <whsieh> anasollanokim: presented delayed clipboard rendering last time, resolving feedback: does existing API work?
[08:12] <whsieh> anasollanokim: been working on that but no resolution yet, since we're unsure how the promises are going to be resolved
[08:12] <whsieh> anasollanokim: can't guarantee when the promise will be resolved browser-side
[08:13] <whsieh> anupam: need signal that system is trying to read data, exposed to web
[08:14] <whsieh> whsieh: that's when promise is called
[08:18] <whsieh> text/html => promise1
[08:18] <whsieh> image/png => promise2
[08:18] <whsieh> only promise2 is resolved if you go and paste an image
[08:19] <whsieh> johanneswilm: what to do when navigating away?
[08:20] <whsieh> johanneswilm: when you navigate away, the promise is gone
[08:20] <whsieh> whsieh: (or the promises are all resolved — there are multiple ways to solve this problem)

[08:21] <edgar> present+
[08:22] <whsieh> johanneswilm: let's move on to next issue: issue 414, composition border
[08:22] <snianu> We will work with our partners and see if the promise approach works for them. If not, then we can discuss further.
[08:22] <GameMaker> present+
[08:22] <whsieh> snianu: sounds good!
[08:23] <whsieh> johanneswilm: JS editors can't do anything about IME composition UI until composition is already done
[08:23] <whsieh> johanneswilm: proposal: specify composition border around element, composition stays around until element is gone (?)
[08:24] <whsieh> johanneswilm: if you try to change the DOM around the composition, it can interrupt the composition
[08:25] <whsieh> johanneswilm: if you can mark an element as composition border then you can move elements adjacent to the composition
[08:28] <whsieh> johanneswilm: is this a problem worth solving? is this proposal the way we should solve it?
[08:28] <whsieh> snianu: preferred approach is to use EditContext
[08:30] <whsieh> johanneswilm: Mozilla needed to check on status of VK API
[08:31] <whsieh> johanneswilm: (w.r.t. https://github.com/w3c/editing/issues/413)
