Description

What should be the cursor height in math element ?
In our products we adopt the same rules text editor use :
The same height of the biggest element.
We dicussed about that few months ago.
Sorry for the delay but I took time to explore WebKit implementation in OpenJFX to find what's wrong and start to correct that. But I think this is not an OpenJFX implementation issue. It's rather a MathML WebKit implementation issue. I also tried with GeckoView, I found the same problem.
I tried to understand the reason why in others implementations cursor height was so small.
I think, it's because present MathML implementation purpose is only display and doesn't take editing in account. I think it's a shame, it could be more productive to take in mind editing too.
