Minutes Telecon 2020-10-07
- The group will not have its regular call on the 21st of October due to other TPAC calls. If anyone thinks the 14th or 28th should also be cancelled please reach out on the private list.
- In order to make a decision on :blank (Issue #1967) more research is necessary on if :empty can ignore whitespace. chrishtr will help fantasai in getting a sample of pages to investigate if sites using whitespace in :empty are relying on the current behavior.
- There was wide interest in improving the interaction between scroll animations and prefers-reduced-motion (Issue #5321: TAG feedback: interaction with prefers reduced motion). There were some potential solutions that came out of the conversation:
- Have scroll animations move from their start state to their end state without the animation in the middle, perhaps with additional author controls to define some intermediate states
- Allow browsers to remove most scroll animations and rely on !important for authors to still have their animation when it was required.
- Don’t trigger the animation immediately. Instead, suspend the animation until the scroll action finishes, interpolate what state the animation should be in at that point in the scroll, and then display that state.
-
There is a need to experiment with the approaches to see which of them gives the best results. The Github issue will stay open for further conversation around experiments.
- Resolved: Add superscript and subscript descriptors using ‘normal’, percentages, and ‘from-font’ values (Issue #5518: @font-face overrides for superscript/subscript metrics)
- Resolved: Add target-text pseudo element (Issue #5522: Add a highlight pseudo-element for scroll-to-text)
- Resolved: Add these terms [rectangular edges vs edges that have had their corners shaped] but bikeshed names in GH issue (Issue #5132: How to refer to the corner-shaped padding/border/content edges)
- Resolved: For aliased properties, the general rule is both sides of the alias get new values as defined (Issue #4839: Issues with legacy name alias)
