488007 - ElementFromPoint does not go through frames/iframes

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Oleg Romashin (:romaxa)]

I'm not sure is it feature or bug, but currently it is very tricky to get right element from point if that element inside frame/iframe... 

Would it be possible to get implementation which looks into frames and iframes and check element there?

Isn't this requesting kind of the opposite thing to bug 479058? That's about a different function but they're kind of related...

Is an iframe, object or outer SVG frame something that you look inside and return one of the contents of (or measure the content bounds of) or is it something you don't look inside and return either it or its bounds.

I'm not sure, would it be better to merge ElementFromPoint function into this Area function...
