262497 - Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End problems (apparent with RTL)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Eyal Rozenberg]

Pressing Ctrl+Home bring you to the top-left of the message, not the beginning
of it; pressing Ctrl+End bring you to the bottom-right of the message, not the
end of it. That means that if your message direction RTL instead of LTR,
Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End do not bring you to the start and the end of the message,
respectively.

Problem code is at

it does not take BiDi into account. In fact, it is poor design. Instead of 
seeking to some desired set of (x,y) coordinates - and then using the click 
handler, aarrggh!! - the code should find the first element, in logical element 
order, within the frame, and position the cursor before it.

I think I'll open a separate bug.

IIRC, fixing 263309 automatically makes this go away. Someone please check this
with a trunk build from after the checking for 263309.

Mass-assigning the new rtl keyword to RTL-related (see bug 349193).
