250169 - <textarea>s have a focus rectangle now

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

so... a current cvs build shows a focus rectangle inside of textareas. this
looks somewhat strange.

testcase: click inside the textarea on this page.

seen on gtk2 linux build from just now.

I don't think this is the desired behaviour, is it?

cc'ing some layout/event/a11y hackers who might know something about this...

Remember to include textarea in css rule for what doesn't get focus outline

r+sr=shaver on trivial regression fix.	Requesting 1.8a2 approval.

This was caused by the checkin for bug 171366.

I noticed this today too. In forums, it's been causing many more problems than
just visual appearance. It sometimes makes the textarea seem readonly and the
text becomes unselectable.

Turns out that bug 250208 has a better fix for this.

So is this still wanted for 1.8a2? If not, can someone remove the request for
approval?

I put blocking 1.8a2 on bug 250208 instead.
