           Summary: Need to be able to get the bounds of selection
                    rectangle(s)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: WebKit Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dbelenko at google.com


This change is necessary to fix Chromium bug 28646 (which in turn will fix
23481 and 23481    ). The gist of that bug is that a red rectangle needs to be
drawn around the selection, including the case where selection is transformed.
The change will be in WebKit/chromium and is Chromium-specific. I already have
a fix (diff is attached).

The bug is caused by not having a way to retrieve the bounding rectangle
coordinates for the selection rectangle(s). WebKit tests do this by calling an
Objective-C selector dynamically and retrieving the corresponding rect. In
order to accomplish the same in C++ a trivial helper method is introduced in
the interface.

I am creating this bug to have a vehicle to get the patch in.

The corresponding Chromium bug can be found here:
