contenteditable Interop #5
Description
Differences between the browsers' models/behaviour for contenteditable cause observed compat for users, even though libraries have sophisticated mechanisms for working around these differences. Fully aligning these models is considered out of scope, but there are some areas where incremental progress is likely to be impactful to users. As part of the investigation we should:
- Identify the areas in which model differences result in user-visible behaviour differences, using bug reports to browser engines as a guide.
- Identify existing tests covering those areas.
- Propose a model for how to handle the problematic situation (e.g. as a spec PR if it requires spec changes) and get agreement from vendors that it makes sense to align on that model.
- Add additional test coverage as required.
The aim is that the identified tests would be a candidate for an Interop 2023 focus area around editing that browsers would be able to commit to.
