EventStateManager::HandleQueryContentEvent does not handle eQueryContentState for remote targets.

How urgent is this?

Comment 2

[Reuben Morais [:reuben]]

This is currently breaking Mac OS X Services integration. It looks like an alternative solution is being worked on in bug 1261299, which will make these bugs not urgent at all, and possibly a WONTFIX.

[Jimmy Wang (:jimicy) - works on e10s stuff]

Bug 1261299 makes Mac OS X Services integration work again by caching the current selection (chrome/ content process) because the services menu requires synchronous access to the current content selection. I'm caching it on the nsClipboard for macOS only.

This makes this low priority or WONTFIX.

eQueryContentState still does not work in e10s. If someone needed the same functionality we would need to cache the content selection on EventStateManager.cpp and make it available to Linux, OSX, Windows. We should also remove the current code for eQueryContentState because you can't dispatch a widget event to content in e10s like that.
