            Bug ID: 177657
           Summary: [Input Events] The "insertReplacementText" inputType
                    should be limited to autocorrection and spell checking
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing

In https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170955, I made WebKit input event behavior compliant with the input events spec, if we consider insertion via the emoji picker to be "similar to autocorrect/spell checking" (the platform uses the same codepath to insert text in both cases). However, this policy isn't very useful, particularly to clients like Gmail that need to distinguish autocorrection and spell checking from other forms of text insertion. So we should explore limiting "insertReplacementText" to autocorrection and spellchecking.
