In the "topmost popover ancestor" algorithm: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/popover.html#topmost-popover-ancestor

We call:

  1. Run checkAncestor given the result of running nearest inclusive open popover given newPopover's parent node within the flat tree.

but checkAncestor also calls "nearest inclusive open popover" at step 8.2?

Let candidateAncestor be the result of running nearest inclusive open popover given candidate.

I think this is redundant?

@josepharhar @mfreed7 @annevk @rwlbuis What do you think?

@josepharhar @mfreed7 @annevk @rwlbuis What do you think?

I was also surprised seeing this in some implementations, looking forward to the explanation.

Explanation: complete oversight on my part. I agree, we should remove the call at step 9 and just rely on the one already in checkAncestor.

I opened a PR to remove the redundant call here: #9267

aarongable pushed a commit to chromium/chromium that referenced this issue May 9, 2023
See [1] but it was pointed out that there's an extra call to
NearestOpenPopover() that can be removed. Since the behavior of
NearestOpenPopover is inclusive by default, it should be idempotent.
This CL removes the extra call and cleans things up just a bit.
