Hi Team,

Hope you are doing great and making Webkit awesome.. Keep pushing!! :-)

While I was trying to reproduce issue using Chromium / Blink patch in bug 117442, I turned the Blink patch into test case as below:

Link - https://jsfiddle.net/2ouzpebg/show

*** STEPS TO REPRODUCE ***

1) Open JSFiddle
2) Focus on contenteditable input field

<<< ACTUAL RESULT >>>

Alert to show Pass will keep on showing-up even if you do "Close" and it might not show for few seconds but as soon as you move mouse it will be again.

<<< EXPECTED RESULT >>>

Alert box should have "field" to suppress future alerts similar to other browsers like Firefox etc. and it should be dismissible

NOTE - Chrome Canary 107 also suffer from this. Only Firefox Nightly 106 show this dialog box once and then don't next time.

I think we should match Firefox here because this can be used for spam or to annoy end-user with non-dismissible alert box.

_________

Keep pushing and make Webkit awesome!!!

Thanks!

I tested it on Safari Technology Preview 152 - I forgot to add. :-(

It inhibits the Web inspector developer tools too. 
The only to get rid of this is to close the tab and reopen a new one.

btw Firefox has a similar issue when clicking on the second "text" label (not the input box), a series of two alert box are set and the second one can't be dismissed except if we forbid the site to prompt us again.
