Bug ID: 170982
Summary: Consider implementing the VisualViewport API
Product: WebKit
Version: Safari 10
Hardware: Unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: HTML DOM
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: rbyers at chromium.org
CC: cdumez at apple.com
After the fix for bug 170981 it becomes impossible for a page to tell when the visual viewport changes (eg. user has pinch-zoomed, OSK is displayed). There are a few rare use cases where this is really desirable. For example when composing a tweet on twitter.com in Chrome the toolbar (add picture, location, characters left, etc.) sticks just above the keyboard. On Safari Twitter uses a worse UI where the add picture button is just at the bottom of the text, and the characters left is at the top right.
To address these use cases we propose the VisualViewport API: https://github.com/wicg/viewportapi
What do WebKit folks think about the use case here, potentially worth solving?
Regardless of whether the use case seems worth solving at the moment, does the VisualViewport API seem like a reasonable design?
