1273000 - inspector: replace textnode by whitespace creates empty element in markupview

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1304685

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect, P2)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Attachment: empty-textnode-STR.gif

STRs:

- open data:text/html,<div>textnode<span>
- open inspector, inspect "textnode"
- in markupview, doubleclick to edit the text of "textnode"
- replace "textnode" by " "
- commit the change

ER: The empty textnode should be removed from the view
AR: An empty element remains instead of the textnode

Note, if you close and reopen the inspector, the empty textnode is gone.

Empty text nodes are normally filtered in the inspector actor ([1] & [2]), but it looks like this is not handled when updating nodes.

FILTER ON CLIMBING SHOES

Marking this one as a P2 because it makes the markup view look broken

I think we should close this as a duplicate of bug 1304685.
Please re-open if you think otherwise.
