            Bug ID: 234069
           Summary: A FormData constructed in the form's submit event
                    listener shouldn't include the submitter
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

WPT test: https://wpt.fyi/results/html/semantics/forms/form-submission-0/constructing-form-data-set.html?label=experimental&label=master&aligned

In the spec, the "construct the entry list" algorithm is passed an optional "submitter" argument, which it uses to determine whether to include a button in the entry list. And the FormData constructor calls "construct the entry list" with no optional parameters. But in WebKit, a FormData object constructed in the form's submit event listener will contain the submitter in its entry list.

This happens because in WebKit, the submitter is tracked by setting an input's m_isActivatedSubmit state, and when submit buttons are activated, the state is set, the form is submitted, and the state is then unset (in HTMLButtonElement::defaultEventHandler, ImageInputType::handleDOMActivateEvent, SubmitInputType::handleDOMActivateEvent). So the submitter state stays on during the entire form submission algorithm, including when firing the submit event.

However, it seems like HTMLFormElement::submit also sets the submitter's m_isActivatedSubmit state, since otherwise no submitter would show up for implicit submission and form.requestSubmit() with no arguments. So it seems like setting the state in the activation handlers would be unnecessary.
