1692007 - Enable the autocapitalize attribute in release

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, task)

Description

[Tom S [:evilpie]]

Right now the autocapitalize attribute is only enabled on Nightly. I haven't seen any bug tracking enabling the attribute by default and I wanted to have a bug to point to.

Lack of support for autocapitalize="none" is impacting XTerm.js, used by some online IDEs such as StackBlitz (see e.g. https://stackblitz.com/edit/node). Would be nice to have it in Firefox stable.

Tested with XTerm.js on Android, with the default Google keyboard app and the "Auto-capitalization — Capitalize the first word of each sentence" option turned on (which is the default):

• Chrome stable: Typing node outputs node.
• Firefox Nightly: Typing node outputs node.
• Firefox stable: Typing node outputs Node.

It would be very useful to have this fix in Firefox stable. Are there any plans to integrate it soon or is there a reason to keep it on the nightly?

Hi :m_kato, since you are the current assignee, I'd like to ask you whether this is blocked by something or it's just that someone needs to care. (If it's the latter, I can try but in the next year.)

Attachment: Bug 1692007 - Ship autocapitalize attribute. r=smaug

autocapitalize is turned on Nightly by bug 1425291. There is no bug report for
it, so I would like to ship it by Firefox 111.

Chrome(all) and WebKit/iOS have already shipped this.

Test code is here.

• widget/tests/test_autocapitalize.html
