Add API to make selection visible #73

Open gked opened 8 years ago

gked commented 8 years ago

Moving issue from editing issue tracker as this is selection related.

Originally, was opened by yosinch

I would like to propose new selection API, Selection#makeVisible() which makes caret(extentNode, extenOffset) visible in viewport. Background: It is hard to make caret visible, if it is in a element with "overflow: scroll" CSS property. Or, there is no way for TEXTAREA. Inspired by http://crbug.com/612729

Why new API? from the ticket it is not clear why not to scroll when selectionStart/selectionEnd/setSelectionRange() where used... (Firefox and Opera (Presto) do this)
