[webkit-dev] Webkit (Mobile Safari) issues in the iPhone

[Diego Taylor]

Hi,

I am aware that this mailing list is not specifically oriented to the
Apple's iphone mobile safari implementation, but I am confident that some
people on this list can give me some hints on how to solve this issue.

In a nutshell I have issues updating the DOM. I have a rich text edit and to
simulate the text selection I have enclosed the text in a tag with a
background colour.
All this is done in javascript but if i do not send (after it in
Objective-C) a setSelectionToStart message to the text view It comes back
with something like this (the same issue can occur in some few places but
always ends in the same place):


#0  0x3272e30f in std::__push_heap<WebCore::TimerHeapIterator, int,
WebCore::TimerHeapElement> ()

Since I am using DOMRange's and selection(s), the issue seems to be related
to this, but I thought the issue was solved, and with more "complex" DOM
manipulations it is happening again. It's worth adding that I am doing these
changes while some UI events are happenning (e.g: touches), but if I
simulate the same process steps in another way (pressing a button for each
DOM manipulation) it doesn't happen. IMHO it may be related with some
sync/event/layout issue but don't know yet the WebKit internals.

If somebody can shed me some light on it, I would be very grateful.

Thank you,
Diego
