The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Editor' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Could you upload a screen recording demonstrating this failure? I've been unable to reproduce using either 117.0.1 or 119.0a1 under Fedora Linux.

Screencast of Copy by menu OK and by Ctrl+C NOK in Collabora Online.
Problem started wth TextInput: switch from <textarea> to contenteditable.

Repros with data:text/html,<div contenteditable=true oncopy='alert(1)'>Copy</div> if there's no selected text.

Looks like that this start point is wrong. I think that it should start from Selection::GetFocusNode() or the result of ComputeEditingHost(LimitInBodyElement::Yes) if IsHTMLEditor() is true. I guess that this is regressed by bug 1817723 which touched GetDOMEventTarget().

Looks like that using startContainer of first Selection Range is right start point.

I don't think this is a recent regression, at least I couldn't find an old revision that didn't reproduce the issue.

:sefeng, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1817723, could you take a look?

At least bug 1817723 doesn't regress data:text/html,<div contenteditable=true oncopy='alert(1)'>Copy</div>. Before bug 1817723, the starting point is document which is still wrong because the event listener is registered on the div element. I'll submit a patch in a different bug to fix data:text/html,<div contenteditable=true oncopy='alert(1)'>Copy</div> by using Masayuki's suggestion.

Timur, I don't have access to Collabora Online, do you think you can provide a reduced test case which the regression range is what you've provided in comment 8?

[Sean Feng [:sefeng]]

(I filed Bug 1857303 for data:text/html,<div contenteditable=true oncopy='alert(1)'>Copy</div>. In fact I am not going to write a patch, instead I marked it as a good-first-bug)

First, I applogize I did not verify prevoius bisect result, I bibisected again and it is different, I verified this one. It is still v117 but somehow there are many commits in this pushlog.

Collabora Online has Demo or I can provide a link to some document, but that will not be useful for current versions, as we reverted switch from <textarea> to content editable <div>, when this issue emerged.
So really I can test only by building between our commit d7e302c94a35ef61595270727dec6c6013c2a63a and 97aec607666e3e3170a2fea5154a50db081876a3.
Or we all can test by running Collabora Online docker 23.05.1 up to 23.05.3, together with Nextcloud docker - it takes some setting, though.

The example provided on bugzilla <div contenteditable=true oncopy='alert(1)'>Copy</div> fails to work in 115, 117, 118.
Collabora Online works on 115 and fails on 117 and 118. The difference is that in online the oncopy handler is defined for document and not for the div element.

In fact the following small html sample behaves exactly as Collabora Online:
<html>
<body>
<div contenteditable=true>Copy</div>
</body>
<script>
document.oncopy = function() { alert(1); };
</script>
</html>

On Windows the problem doesn't seem occur for any Firefox version.
