dchan added a comment to T360058: Enable performing conflict resolution in VisualEditor.

This could be implemented by:

  • importing the remote revision and displaying it as a ve.dm.VisualDiff.
  • Then, if the user chooses to proceed, converting the remote revision into a single ve.dm.Change that applies to the common base document (=the document at the start of the edit session);
  • then rebasing that change against the current document's completeHistory (=the transactions that correspond to the changes during the edit session), before applying it;
  • then applying the rebased change.

We have decided the Editing Team will not use sentencex for the time being as we are not ready to commit to a sentence boundary API. We can revisit this in future as circumstances change.

I've taken a look at sentencex-js specifically, which I understand has been ported from the sentencex original written in python. It looks good! There is certainly significant overlap with the Editing Team's UnicodeJS sentencebreak code.

Examining the code's behaviour on the citation placement examples above, we can see that positions ⓿❶❷❸ would be sufficient for all those examples, except the Japanese close bracket, for which the citation placement comes before the Unicode TR29 definition of a sentence boundary would begin.

Upstream issue: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-firefox-launcher/issues/183 . They suggest a workaround of using a custom launcher FirefoxCustom that passes profile: <some-temp-dir>. This works but you have to create the tempdir yourself. Contrary to the discussion there, just setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp in the environment does not seem to work.

The above patch set fixes the case described above. More generally, is it correct that the paste code should pass arbitrary unbalanced content to the TransactionProcessor, and rely on an error being thrown to switch to "safer" processing? Or is that something we wish to change?

dchan added a comment to T325129: On-screen keyboard disappears when cursor encounters non-breaking space in Chrome; cannot delete nbsp in Firefox.

Based on investigations, I believe Change 881705 fixes the likeliest occurrences of this Gboard bug. I don't think it breaks any case that works at the moment, even though it allows the user to experience T330284 (which needs a separate fix).

dchan added a comment to T325129: On-screen keyboard disappears when cursor encounters non-breaking space in Chrome; cannot delete nbsp in Firefox.

Yes, here is a viable fixup for the above case:

  1. On an input event of inputType 'deleteContentBackward', save the current cursor position (but only if the selection is collapsed).
  2. If a subsequent keyup event occurs during the same tick, and lands inside a contentEditable=false node, then restore the saved cursor position.
  3. In any case, clear the saved cursor position at the end of the tick (i.e. using setTimeout).

The fixup has to occur in the keyup event: waiting for the more logical selectionchange event means the soft keyboard has already closed and it's too late.

dchan added a comment to T325129: On-screen keyboard disappears when cursor encounters non-breaking space in Chrome; cannot delete nbsp in Firefox.

This appears to happen because English Gboard + Android Chrome lets the cursor land inside a contenteditable=false span. It does not happen with certain other Gboard languages (e.g. Cantonese). Below is a minimal test case.

dchan added a comment to T312558: Google Keyboard input events can leave VisualEditor DM out of sync.

Ok, change 812093 triggers the VE Enter handler — which is a big improvement! As it stands, it still leaves a spurious <div><br></div>, into which we can drag the cursor and type text which then doesn't get put into the model (see screenshot). We should check for this spurious div and clean it up — and as a bonus, we can condition triggering the VE Enter handler on finding this div, so that if another IME behaves as we want it to already, then it won't be affected.

It's done because a model change within a ContentBranchNode gets propagated to the view by replacing the entire contents of the CBN, which resets the native selection to the start of the CBN.

dchan added a comment to T274068: Can't place cursor to the right of a link at the end of paragraph (beyond the cartouche/nail) by clicking..

Hmmm I'm not seeing this as a regression — I get the same behaviour going right back to 2016. Investigating further.

This is due to a Firefox issue. A minimal test case for it is:

If I've understood the meaning of the diagram above correctly, I don't think the fallback case will ever happen — because LanguageConverter will always return output for whichever zh variant is specified.

Further detail (from discussing with @DLynch): it's not clear what document data a top-level wrapper could usefully expose as a Vue-style reactive property.

dchan added a comment to T250702: Document corruption when inserting linebreak while annotating.

Ah, i see ... with TreeModifier, pressing Enter at the end of a paragraph leaves that paragraph unchanged (whereas before TreeModifier, it was getting rebuilt entirely). Then it moves the focus into the new paragraph below. That means we're escaping the paragraph without cleaning up the unicorns, which the current code assumes to be impossible.

The table selection update is incorrect, because we're calling tx.translateRange with excludeInsertion=false, but there should always be excludeInsertion=true for a table.

dchan added a comment to T233480: Find a way to detect unhandled jQuery promise rejections in VisualEditor.

The technique in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/539074 does work. And I've used that patchset a few times now to debug silent errors. But it's perhaps too hacky to merge even for debug mode only (it shadows each jQuery promise with a native promise). Maybe it could be merged but needing specific activation.

Apologies @sbassett , I judged the patch wasn't particularly revealing but maybe that wasn't really my call. Given it's already up, should we now proceed as we would with a non-security-related UBN?
