           Summary: Move side-effects on hover/active state out of
                    hit-testing
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: allan.jensen at digia.com


In an effort to make hit-testing a mere algorithm and not cause side-effect we should move the call to Document::updateHoverActiveState() out of RenderView()::hitTest. Since Document::updateHoverActiveState() only has an effect when the HitTestRequest is not readonly, only a few places activating hit-testing will need to be modified.

The bug will be followed up by one refactoring updateHoverActiveState to no longer take a HitTestRequest as an argument, and once  bug #96908 is also closed, it will be possible to remove all information about which type of event triggered the hit-test from HitTestRequest.
