Collecting here for producing a disposition of comments upon exiting CR.

Issue 1

Summary
css3-ui should have a test suite
Raised by
Tantek Çelik
URL
eventually http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/#css3-ui
Proposed Resolution
create at least one test case per feature, update "Current Issues" section above to add the text See the [[1]] and [[2]] versions of the test suite for the "Tests" references.
Status
Resolved. LCWD has link to CSS Tests page. Update this to link to specific test suite page for CSS3-UI for the next CR. Pending next CR and contributions to test suite.

Issue 13

Summary
should CSS3 UI (or some future version) incorporate a 'focusable' property (like in SVG)
Raised by
Tantek Çelik
URL
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/interact.html#focusable-attr
Proposed resolution
postpone til CSS4-UI.
Status
Resolved. Added to http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css4-ui#focusable-property

Issue 19

Summary
CSS3-UI should define 'overflow-x' and 'overflow-y' properties

http://www.w3.org/Style/Group/css3-src/css3-box/#overflow
URL
http://www.w3.org/Style/Group/css2-src/visufx.html#overflow
Proposed Resolution
Postpone this to CSS4-UI or preferably CSS3-Box - whichever gets drafted/updated first: Define 'overflow-x' and 'overflow-y' properties already interoperably implemented by various browsers. Pull in entirety of [16 from CSS3 Box draft]. Sync (incorporate) any updates/changes [CSS 2.1 overflow definition]. Clarify: box-shadow should never trigger overflow/scrollbars. Clarify: do margins trigger overflow/scrollbars? Maybe they don't trigger overflow but if there is overflow anyways (something else triggers scrollbars), then margins influence the dimensions of the scrollable area. Consider: define baseline behavior as depending only on overflow-y per [O'Callahan / David Hyatt emails].
Newer alternative
There is now an overflow spec, this should go there: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-overflow/
Status
Resolved postponed to CSS3-Box or CSS4-UI.

  • Run tests in browsers: Chrome, Firefox (as ::-moz-selection), IE9+, Opera, Safari
  • For all tests, if a majority of browsers agree on a test, codify that behavior into spec text. If not, explicitly list that test's behavior as undefined (browsers known to disagree)
  • Add resulting spec text to a new ::selection section in CSS3-UI.
  • Submit to CSS test-suite efforts each test where a majority of browsers agree on behavior.

Summary
ime-mode is windows specific and bad design, and should not be standardized. (has replacement suggestion)

Florian's Proposed resolution
drop ime-mode. It is not fully interoperable, and cannot become so cross platform.
Proposed Resolution
Document 'ime-mode' as officially obsoleted (that's a specific W3C term). Note the existence of implementations of a property with the name 'ime-mode', which may have some interop with some values on some platforms, but there are no tests to verify this, however there is documentation claiming non-interop ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/ime-mode details of values, platforms, password field handling). Implementations MUST NOT add support for it. Implementations SHOULD drop support for it ASAP. Authors MUST NOT use it (it invalidates a style sheet). Users MAY use it only for "repair" use-cases where they have to work around bad sites and legacy implementations, e.g. with a user style sheet rule like: input[type=password] { ime-mode: auto !important; } . This specification deliberately does not attempt to document how legacy implementations work or what they support because it does not make sense to recommend any such path, nor to provide any legitimacy to those legacy implementations.
Updated Resolution
Implementations should not support the <css>ime-mode</css> property.
Status
Editor's draft updated with updated Resolution. Awaiting public draft.

URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Dec/0063.html
Previous Resolution
allow behavior currently implemented by browsers and the one currently in the spec, amended to talk about a resize function instead of a resize factor
Proposed new Resolution
Note outstanding objection to "resize function" wording inline in the spec, link directly to email http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Dec/0177.html Proposed text to resolve in favor of the objection here: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Feb/0149.html - proposed text goes beyond resolution. I have subsetted to only essential aspects in spirit with resolution, rewritten for better clarity, leaving in previous text unrelated to style attribute that had consensus.
Resolution
Specify must behavior of style attribute and pixels, due to implementation interop. (2015-02-10 f2f)

Proposed Resolution
Note this issue in spec explicitly with general plan to "restrict the auto value to handling things that cannot be described by the UA stylesheet." Proposal here, with analysis at the beginning, and proposed text at the bottom of the mail: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Feb/0039.html - note agreement on general plan, problems with details, proposal to be iterated offline.
Resolution
Apply proposal from dbaron, 'auto' behaves as 'text' over text, and 'default' otherwise, with inapplicability of cursor property over scrollbars, resizers, possibly other native UI widgets from input elements etc. (2015-02-10 f2f)

drop them. Patch here (shared with issue 65): http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Dec/0200.html. Patch does too much, harder to verify than to do edits directly.
Status
Verified that http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors4 contains almost exact text copied from CSS3-UI sections #active ":active details", #indeterminate "The indeterminate-value pseudo-class :indeterminate", #pseudo-default ":default", #pseudo-validity ":valid and :invalid" (including XFORMS11 reference heh), #pseudo-range ":in-range and :out-of-range", #pseudo-required-value ":required and :optional".

Issue 71

Summary
WG resolved to drop all XForms related pseudo elements from CSS-UI, but ::value and ::choices were retained, as they apply to HTML in addition to XForms as they were initially specified for. However, they are not implemented anywhere, and it is not clear that they effectively solve the problem they were introduced for.

Resolution
Drop ::value and ::choices due to being underspecified (e.g. which properties should/must apply), and therefore being a potential source of many new issues (feature is too immature to be included in a LCCR).

Issue 72

Summary
All browsers should be treated equally with regards to obsoleting the 'ime-mode' property, instead of saying "must not add support" for those that don't have it but "should drop support" for those that do.

Proposed Resolution
Add a note to ime-mode pointing readers to relevant html attributes, and explaining that dropping ime-mode was because it was a bad solution, not because the problem isn't worth addressing. Draft phrasing: "

The Working Group recognizes the importance of presenting the most relevant text input UI to users depending on what type of input is expected from them. However, instead of trying to control directly the UI as ime-mode attempts to do, a better approach is to give as much context as possible to the User Agent, and let it present the best UI possible to the user out of the various possibilities available on the platform. In HTML, the following attributes are relevant:

Summary
How does text-overflow:ellipsis work with overflow-style: marquee-line?
Dependency
Since CSS3 Marquee is already in CR and text-overflow is the "new" feature, it is up to text-overflow to define the interaction.

Proposed Resolution
Render same as user controlled scrolling. Add mention of overflow-style to parenthetical examples listed after "When an element is scrolled".
Status
Resolved in http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-css3-ui-20120117/
Update
CSS3 Marquee has been retired, as nobody implemented it and the WG does not encourage anyone to. This clarification is therefore not longer needed, and has been removed from the draft, along with all references to CSS3 Marquee

Summary
text-overflow definition is ambiguous as to whether it applies to vertical overflow of text

URL
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-ui/#text-overflow0
URL
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/105727/web/text-wrap-ellipsis.html
Proposed Resolution
No one has implemented text-overflow for anything other than inline progress. Therefore we should explicitly clarify this deatil. Insert "in its inline progression direction and " into "when text overflows its block container element that has ‘overflow’ other than ‘visible’" just after "element".
Status
Closed.

Issue 21

Summary
text-overflow definition must include <string> value and 2 values option, but with both explicitly at-risk.
Raised by
CSS WG
URL
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-ui/#text-overflow0
URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Jun/0329.html
Proposed Resolution
Update text-overflow definition to include <string> value and {1,2} values option as described below.
Status
Closed.
text-overflow string

text-overflow: <string>. consider incorporating dropped <string> value.

Originally text-overflow: <string> was [in CSS3 Text CR 2003-05-14] - but no one implemented it. Thus any request for including this MUST include some justification as to why/how implementations would consider it differently than they did (and reject) for CSS3 Text CR 2003.

Real-world use-cases:

  • none.

Theoretical use-cases:

  • text-overflow:"" can be used to clip inline content on whole characters (grapheme clusters) / atomic elements rather than clipping them at a pixel boundary. (is there any evidence of designers wanting such an effect?)
  • multilingual (need specific examples here. which languages and which characters?)
  • author might wish to use "(...)" for instance in citations (need a reference to this style of ellipsing in citations)
  • vertical ellipsis in maths (need a reference to this style of ellipsing in math)
  • a line that has nothing but images on it. Having two markers also motivates having a <string> value to be able to specify different symbols on each side.

CSSWG resolution: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Jun/0329.html - in particular:

  • syntax: "RESOLVED: Add the two-value syntax to text-overflow in css3-ui, marked at-risk"
  • semantic: "two strings (left and right) in addition to one string (both)."
  • unprefixed: "[FF is] implementing it unprefixed, because everyone else already has."

Possible spec markup:

( clip | ellipsis |

  <a class="noxref" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#value-def-string">
    <string></a> ){1,2}

...

<string>
Render the given string to represent clipped text. The string is treated as an independent paragraph for bidi purposes.

...

[At risk]. If there is one value, use it for both the left and right line edges. If there are two values, use the first value for the right edge, and the second value for the left edge.

Summary
How should text selection behave in the presence of a text-overflow ellipsis?

Tantek Çelik
URL
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/issues/279
URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Nov/0263.html
Resolution
Selecting the ellipsis SHOULD select the ellipsed text. If all of ellipsed text is selected, UAs SHOULD show selection of ellipsis. Behavior of partially-selected elided text is up to UA. Consider adding clarifying examples in spec, adding tests. RESOLVED at 2012-10-30 TPAC CSSWG f2f meeting.
Status
Closed.
Notes
In Safari, you can see that the copy-pasted text is the complete text. This is what is expected by users, and implemented by other browsers.

User Agents must apply this constraint independently in each dimension. If the outline is drawn as multiple disconnected shapes, this constraint applies to each shape separately. Negative values are an at risk feature." Justifications and variations in the mail linked to above, as well as tests showing existing non-interop.

Proposed Resolution
Add the following sentence: "The <a>concrete object size</a> is determined using the <a>default sizing algorithm</a>. If an operating system is incapable of rendering a cursor above a given size, cursors larger than that size must be shrunk to within the OS-supported size bounds, while maintaining the cursor image's intrinsic ratio, if any."
Status
Closed.

Issue 73

Summary
Support for negative outline-offset is marked as optional and at-risk. However, all browsers that support outline-offset support negative values. The only issue was the lack of interop for large negative values. The new spec prose introduced to define interoperable behavior is fine.

Proposed Resolution
Remove "UAs may ignore negative values. UAs that support " and mentions of "at risk". To deal with the risk of non implementation of the interoperable behavior in the CR time frame, replace "Neither [...] may become" with "Both [...] must not become".
Status
Closed.

Issue 74

Summary
The phrasing of what happens with large negative values in the outline-offset property is unclear, and makes it sound like we should keep a blank space of outline-width * 2 inside the outline at minimum.

Issue 81

Summary
A few (mostly editorial) tweaks to the definition of the resize property

Proposed Resolution
Suggested changes seem overall reasonable - do edits that reflect intent of tweaks.
Additional Resolution
drop "should not apply" text, use this text similar to this instead: "As generated content pseudo elements do not have a <a>style attribute</a>, how they are affected by the 'resize' property is undefined, but UAs must not redirect the effect of the 'resize' property onto the parent element. Note: the resize property may apply to generated content in the future if there is implementation of Interface CSSPseudoElement."
Status
closed. Note: After publication, consider either drop the "should not apply" sentence, or rephrase to "does not apply" for CSS3-UI if we get interop (multiple do nothings).
