That depends on the exact locations of the line breaks (since there is going to be one nsTextFrame per piece of line-broken content) and the exact time when you're looking at the member. For example, right after the nsTextFrame is constructed it'll have an mContentLength of 0, iirc. It will get updated to match the text the nsTextFrame actually maps the text during reflow. -Boris P.S. Bidi reordering can also create multiple textframes all on one line, I think, but in your example that's a non-issue. If your real text might not all be ltr, this is something to keep in mind. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
