What's the expected result?

I think it depends on where you clicked on the input field.
If you clicked near the end of the input field, the cursor would appear at the end.

After v2.1, we would have a caret handler for easier cursor movement.

Lets say we type  "abcdefghijklmnopq" in text field .Normally when touch on any character(eg. 'd' the cursor will changed to the postion after that character d). But this issue  tells the scenario where the user touches on the top border of textfield or little above, the cursor position is changed to the beginning of the string.

When we touch on editor box , the dom input sends both Focus and the Mouse events which updates the cursor position .But when we touch on the border or outside,it  sends only focus event to application and since it doesn't have the selection information, it always reset to the beginning of the editor.

Doesn't look like a blocker to me.

But anyway, the selection behavior is controlled by Gecko.

Ting-Yu,

I heard that you have handled the text selection issues, do you know if we have already addressed this kind of issues before?
Thank you.

This behavior is the same as the Firefox browser, and Google chrome has the same behavior. On B2G 2.2, we will have touch-caret to make it easier to move cursor.

Closing as we are not working on Firefox OS anymore.
