1953168 - edit html remove body node on new blank window

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect, P3)

Description

[RTK]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:135.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/135.0

Steps to reproduce:

• change about:config setting browser.startup.homepage to about:blank
• open new window (not new tab, must be new window)
• open DOM inspector
• right click on body, select edit as html
• add anything inside body, can be a single character or a tag
• click outside the edit box

Actual results:

the body node disappear

Expected results:

to have the edited content applied in the body

Note:

• new blank tabs still works and don't reproduce the bug
• new window but forcing to load about:blank page directly still works and don't reproduce the bug
• right click on body and create new node still works and don't reproduce the bug
• using the script console to change the document.body.innerHTML='something' still works and don't reproduce the bug
• adding a new node inside body and editing this node instead of the body still works and don't reproduce the bug
• I also tested with version 136 and it still happens

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

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

Thanks for the report, we can reproduce on 136 and 137, but not in Niightly (138).

I will check if this is a preference issue by doing a beta simulation. Otherwise no idea what would have fixed this.

Looks like this was fixed with Bug 1665474.

We should probably add a test.
