Detected X,Y coordinates for touch event on text field is off

[Giorgio Venturi]

Tapping on a word in a text input seems to select the word below, rather than the one I intended to select

The Y seems to be lower by approx. 1 GU

Reproduce by
- Go to messages and tap on message filed
- Enter 4 rows of content
- Tap on a word in the second row
- The word below is often selected

Please land AFTER 10-30 build

My further investigation suggests the coordinates are in fact correct, instances to the contrary can be explained by consistent offsets depending on where the event is measured from.

(Still investigating the lack of event data)

I am finding it very difficult to reproduce the problem on the latest rtm proposed on either krillin or mako. I can consistently select the word I want within a line, with multiple lines. I am testing in the messaging app send and the browser fields, and in the Quick Memo app

Can we please reduce the priority of this bug? We will possibly need usability testing here, I'll speak to the research team on Monday and check their availability

reducing to High as per comment #6 and discussion on 11/7

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

Olli, I already got a branch reviewed for this and it's targeting RTM. Should it be held off?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

If this improves the function then yes lets land it
Can you explain the fix here?

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

If you tap on a word and actually hit the area between the upper or lower border, the cursor sometimes ends up in the very beginning or end of the field. The fix addresses this by taking that spacing into account.
