Description
The spec says that the last successful position option is cleared in the following cases:
- when the element is not absolutely positioned anymore
- when the computed value of
position-try-fallbacks
for the element changes - when any
@position-try
rules referenced by the element'sposition-try-fallbacks
changes
But from testing WebKit's implementation against WPT, it seems that some other cases could also trigger invalidation:
- when the computed value of
position-try-order
changes (WPTposition-try-order
tests seem to expect this) - when the "base style" of the element changes (e.g by adding/removing a class from an element, see https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/719745a09c32182d0b0785a7ac8c393cc44d8c51/css/css-anchor-position/base-style-invalidation.html)
- when a position-try fallback rule doesn't refer to an anchor, and the base style changes (???) (see https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/719745a09c32182d0b0785a7ac8c393cc44d8c51/css/css-anchor-position/anchor-position-non-anchored-fallback.html)
(1) makes sense to invalidate, but (2) and (3) seems like a bug (or at least, (un)intentional side effects in Chrome?) So I'm looking for clarification on if the tests are correct or not, and if they are, we should include those cases in the spec.
