Re: [w3c/editing] iOS Safari: URL bar invisible hitbox overlaps text selection grab circle (Issue #550)

michael left a comment (w3c/editing#550)

W3C Editing meeting August 13


> The discussion focused on the hitbox rather than removing the address bar itself:
> The main usability issue is that the visually available space does not match the actual interactive area. Users may expect to be able to interact with the page outside the visible address bar, but taps in those areas can still be intercepted by the address bar.
> Wenson agreed that this appears to be a UI bug rather than something that needs to be addressed by the Web platform.
> The current implementation uses an edge-to-edge view, with the address bar's hitbox extending to the left and right edges of the screen, even though only the central address bar "pill" is visually presented.
> A potential fix would be to shrink the hitbox so that it primarily covers the visible address bar, while potentially retaining a slightly larger area to make it easier to tap.
> This would allow taps outside the address bar to reach the underlying web page, while taps on the address bar itself would continue to activate the browser UI.
> Next Steps
> 
> Wenson will follow up with their UI team to discuss whether the hitbox can be reduced to better match the visible address bar.
