Are we sure this should return Window? 103574 4 annevk 2014-04-08 21:10:31 +0000 See https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/webidl/UIEvent.webidl 103577 5 bzbarsky 2014-04-08 21:19:12 +0000 WindowProxy and Window are the same thing in Gecko's WebIDL. There is never a raw Window returned to script as a capturable object; it's always a WindowProxy. I have no clue what the spec behavior of that is, since the spec state of WindowProxy is pretty broken (e.g. it's not an IDL object at all). My suggestion would be to consistently use Window in WebIDL, with the understanding that in practice what you actually get is a WindowProxy... 103582 6 annevk 2014-04-08 21:50:41 +0000 "understanding" is not a requirement. We need to fix this somehow and it needs to be crystal clear. What is the bug on WindowProxy? I suggest we make this depend on that. 103583 7 bzbarsky 2014-04-08 22:01:15 +0000 I'm not sure there's a bug (apart from bug 20701), just mailing list threads. 104139 8 travil 2014-04-22 00:22:05 +0000 Since WindowProxy is the secure way to return Window (which is the pattern used in HTML5), DOM Events needs to have this be a WindowProxy as well. 104141 9 bzbarsky 2014-04-22 02:42:15 +0000 Fwiw, since there is no actual IDL for WindowProxy, writing "WindowProxy" in WebIDL is technically just invalid WebIDL... 104396 10 travil 2014-04-25 00:20:14 +0000 I changed the IDLs to WindowProxy, and did a pass through the document for the terms "defaultView" which was the term in vogue prior to a more standardized and well-defined window object. Now there is no more use of the term defaultView, and instead Window and WindowProxy are used where appropriate. https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dom3events/rev/c2837d35f150
