204970 - unable to drop or paste in Composer if the caret is in absolute positioned content

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

I found this bug tested Composer.
If I insert or open a file that contains only absolutely positioned content, I
can't add content via paste or drop.

While working on a fix, it made sense to me to change the apis a bit.  I'm
willing to switch it back or change it further.  Let me know.

Patch coming.

api reduction and handle absolute content within html documents

Nowhere else do we use out parameters in the DOM API's, and unless there's a
good reason not to, I'd like to keep it that way. And using out params from JS
is a pain.

Are there significant performance reasons for this API change?

sr- on the API change, the rest looks good.

I think Kathleen is interested in having someone take over the patch "I think the patch is still useful but I don't have it in my tree"

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=3 years untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.
