Summary

This is a corner case change that hopefully does not impact developers.
Previously calling `showPopover()` or `showModal()` on a popover or dialog
that resides within an inactive document would silently fail. I.e. no
exception would be thrown, but since the document is inactive, no popover
or dialog would be shown. As of the
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10705 spec PR, these situations now
throw InvalidStateError.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

There is a *very* slight compat risk, if developers are counting on these
operations (showPopover/showModal in inactive document) not throwing
exceptions. But there are no known use cases for that, so the risk should
be minimal.


*Gecko*: No signal

*WebKit*: No signal

*Web developers*: No signals

*Other signals*:

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
None
