I havent looked at the source code, but it might be a difficult overhaul to fix this issue. There is plenty of theories floating around on how to fix this, but they seem to be pure speculation.
I dont think you can compare this to the downfall of IE, since you yourself could pull the chromium code and fix the issue yourself.... When i see some actual real code fixes in the comments, and the Chromium team STILL hasnt fixed this bug, then i'll call shenanigans.
Until then, everyone in that thread needs to submit patches or GTFO.
If its so easy to fix in theory, then why dont I see someone just submiting a patch, or forking Chromium w/ the correct behavior?
I think its stubborn of them to leave the issue as "WONTFIX" but people whining about it without real-world code example fixes isnt really any more useful.
- Camillo 14y agoNobody wants to spend time researching other people's code and writing a patch only to see that effort go to waste. In this case, the fact that the bug is closed and marked as WONTFIX is a strong indication that patches would not be accepted. Before people can get to code, the maintainers would at least have to say "we've only marked this as WONTFIX because we don't have the resources to deal with this, but we'd actually like to see this fixed if someone else provided a patch". But they haven't said that.
