857487 - Deleting a table row horked

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Daniel Glazman (:glazou) (not active in Mozilla any more)]

Removing a table row through inline table editing is horked. This is
a regression.

1. launch a recent Nightly
2. open the Midas demo at http://www-archive.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/
3. click on the "View HTML Source" checkbox to switch to source view
4. paste the following markup:

   <table border="1" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td><br></td><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr><tr><td><br></td><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr><tr><td><br></td><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br>

5. switch back to wysiwyg view
6. place the caret inside a table cell
7. click on the circular button that appeared in the LEFT edge of the cell

Expected result: row is deleted
Actual result:   no action at all

After investigation, this is a regression introduced by fix for bug 781409. The guilty code is this one in nsHTMLEditor::GetCellDataAt:

  nsTableCellFrame* cellFrame =
    tableFrame->GetCellFrameAt(aRowIndex, aColIndex);
  if (!cellFrame)
    return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;

This creates the current bug since nsHTMLEditor::DeleteRow can call nsHTMLEditor::GetCellDataAt with an out-of-bound row and col index without expecting a fail; in particular see comment in line 1321 of nsTableEditor.cpp:

  // We don't fail if we don't find a cell, so this must be real bad

cc:ing :tbsaunde who handled bug 781409, cause of this regression.

Ok, this also affects all table-row deletions in the editor.
Tweaking bug's title accordingly.
Firefox inline editing, Thunderbird and BlueGriffon all affected.
