118981 - Mozilla doesn't display characters typed in form-input elements

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116230

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Christian Schweer]

Mozilla accepts and uses characters type in an input field (type="Text").

The error is reproduceable.
I'm using Mozilla 0.9.7 (the error exists in 0.9.6, too) on WinNT4SP6.

- On http://informer2.comdirect.de/ go to the input-field named "Kursabfrage"
(this means stock-query). 
- Try typing "aol time". 
  - You will see, that the "e" is not displayed. 
- Continue typing " warner". (mark the leading space)
  - the "e" followed by the newly typed text appears, i.e. has been accepted by
Mozilla but not displayed. It seems the the "e" is send to the server, too, even
if not displayed.

Thx,
Christian

I know that there is a fixed bug about this in bugzilla but I can't find it.

I can see the problem in 0.9.7 but not in build 20020109..

And this is indeed fixed in latest trunk.
