Description

Description

The shared numeric conversion used by DOMRectReadOnly construction and mutable DOMRect setters defaults all falsy values to 0. Valid NaN is therefore replaced with zero and -0 loses its sign.

Expected behavior

Only omitted/nullish optional values should receive the zero default. Supplied numeric values should undergo normal Number conversion while preserving NaN and signed zero.

React Native Version

0.87.1 and current main

Affected Platforms

JavaScript runtime - All

Research direction

Locate the shared numeric conversion used when constructing DOMRectReadOnly and in mutable DOMRect setters. Check how omitted or nullish values are defaulted, then verify that supplied NaN and negative zero retain their values while only the intended defaults become zero.
