http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13831 Summary: Deleting a block should leave style tags nested inside Product: WebAppsWG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML Editing APIs AssignedTo: ayg@aryeh.name ReportedBy: ayg@aryeh.name QAContact: sideshowbarker+html-editing-api@gmail.com CC: mike@w3.org, public-webapps@w3.org Based on WebKit bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7360 Normally if we delete the full contents of a formatting tag like <b>, we delete the tag itself for tidiness, since there's no way to focus the tag anyway. E.g., if you delete foo<b>[bar]</b>baz, it becomes foo[]baz, not foo<b></b>[]baz or anything. State/value overrides (typing style in WebKit terms) ensure that if the user types again before moving the cursor, the text has the right style. However, this is bad when the tag is the only thing in a block. Consider <p>foo</p> <p>bar</p> <p>baz</p> The user selects all the text and bolds it: <p><b>foo</b></p> <p><b>bar</b></p> <p><b>baz</b></p> Then deletes "bar". Currently it becomes <p><b>foo</b></p> <p><br></p> <p><b>baz</b></p> so if the user moves away and back and types, the text in the middle is no longer bold. This isn't what the user wants: they made all three paragraphs bold and want them to stay bold. The solution is to insert a <br> if necessary *before* we strip wrappers. Then when we get to stripping wrappers, there will be a child, so we won't. This will produce <p><b>foo</b></p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>baz</b></p> which should have the desired effect. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
