1257372 - Tooltips for <input type=file multiple> are limited to showing the first 20 files and don't show more files selected

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Jared Wein [:jaws] (please needinfo? me)]

Follow-up from bug 1251809,

In non-e10s, popup.xml will show the filenames of selected files in a tooltip. If there are more than 20 files selected, it will have "and X more files" appended to the end of the tooltip.

In e10s, DefaultTooltipTextProvider::GetNodeText builds this list but can't add the "and X more files" because the string definitions for "and X more file;and X more files" are defined in PluralForm syntax which isn't supported from native code.

The popup.xml code will only show the "and X more files" if there are 2 or more files over the limit, which means we could naively just use the "and X more files" string from C++. This may be naive (and I could be wrong), but it is my understanding that some languages have different plurality rules and would use different strings for 2 units, 3 units, etc., so having one string for all extra units would not suffice.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, 4 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
