852909 - Character Encoding menu no longer disabled for images.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[John Drinkwater (:beta)]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20130319 Firefox/21.0
Build ID: 20130319042012

Steps to reproduce:

Visited a PNG image, noticed the character encoding menu is enabled.
Visited a SVG image (with charset), menu is correctly disabled.

Looks like it may be from the change in Bug 234628 as this does behave correctly in Firefox 19.



Expected results:

It should have disabled the menu item for images.

We'd consider a low risk uplift because this is a regression, but no need to track.

I think the core problem is that the code in updateCharacterEncodingMenuState conflicts with the attribute broadcasting done by the isImage observer. So let's just have this particular menu item stop observing isImage, and instead use custom code in updateCharacterEncodingMenuState to disable itself appropriately.

Could use a test (and I also haven't tested this).

hsivonen, could you take this?

I'll take a look.

Actually, the problem is that I thought media documents didn't inherit from HTML docs and forgot to re-override WillIgnoreCharsetOverride in media docs.

I'm not properly familiar with front end testing. How should I write a test for this?

Comment 9

I thought about that solution too (changing what mayEnableCharacterEncodingMenu returns for media documents), but that results in a bit of a behavior change compared to the previous code (which checked for a text-based MIME type, which also captures things like full-page plugins and other non-media, non-text stuff). I guess maybe that's not a big deal, but being inconsistent about when we disabled the Character Set menu and the View Source menu seemed sub-optimal.

Whether or not this helps with the UI, this seems like the right thing to do.

{ should go to the next line.

r- given comment 9, I think we should avoid changing behavior here (though as smaug says the back-end patch is desirable anyways).

What behavior do you not want changed? What behavior would stopping observing change? AFAICT, the observation removal is just clean-up after the Gecko-side change changes behavior in the desired way (causes the menu to be disabled for image, plug-in, video and audio docs).

Note that Character Encoding and View Source don't enable/disable in unison anyway, because View Source makes sense for XML but Character Encoding has no effect for XML.

I still don't know how I should write a test for this.

Changing behavior" relative to prior to your patch for bug 234628, to be clear. "document is a MediaDocument" and "mimeTypeIsTextBased(document.contentType) returns true" aren't quite the same thing. Maybe they are closer than I thought, though, in which case maybe your patch is fine.

With your patches, things like PDF documents (and, I thought, full-page plugins) will have enabled Character Encoding menus, whereas prior to bug 234628 they would not have.

(I didn't think plug-ins were MediaDocuments.)

> I still don't know how I should write a test for this.

Write a browser-chrome test that loads an image document, and check that the character encoding menu is disabled. browser_zbug569342.js does something similar (for the find bar), but could be simplified a lot for this simpler case.

With this patch, the Character Encoding menu becomes disabled when the top-level document is a plug-in. However, the patch enabled the menu for PDF.js. :-(

PluginDocument inherits from MediaDocument.

By far the easiest fix for this is to start the PDF.js viewer.html with a UTF-8 BOM.

The binary patches are a 16x16-pixel green square as a PNG and as a PDF (converted from the PNG using imagemagick).

Disable the menu for PDF.js

This patch adds a BOM. Hence, the change looks invisible. At least another patch has a test case in case this regresses, since this is easy to regress. However, this is also by far the easiest way to disable the Character Encoding menu for PDF.js.

This looks alright. Please push the whole thing (with fix) to try when it's all reviewed, as the paths to external files thing makes me somewhat uncomfortable, but I'm not aware of a better way of doing this.

Given that gavin r-'d last time around, I think it should be him reviewing this as well.
