Subject: [PATCH] test(enter): drop fragile viewport assertion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The 'enter is always visible after event' test asserted that the last
line was within the browser viewport using boundingBox().y + height vs
window.innerHeight. Those values live in different coordinate spaces
(boundingBox is outer-page; window is per-frame), and the comparison
is fundamentally unable to model what the editor's auto-scroll actually
guarantees: visibility inside the ace_outer iframe, not within the
outer browser viewport.

Any plugin that adds chrome above or below the editor (toolbar rows,
sidebars, etc.) pushes the iframe's bottom below the browser viewport
while auto-scroll has correctly placed the cursor at the iframe's
bottom — failures look like 'Expected: > 731, Received: 720'. An
earlier attempt to switch to toBeInViewport({ratio: 1}) traded the
false positives for false negatives under chromium + plugins because
the inner iframe's contents can report ratio 0 against the outer
viewport even when the line is visible inside the editor.

Drop the visibility assertion entirely. The test's real value — that
Enter keystrokes produce new lines and the editor's input pipeline
keeps up — is exercised by the per-iteration toHaveCount value-wait
in the loop above. Visibility under plugin chrome is a separate,
plugin-aware concern.
