35869 - erasing text while adding an entry in address book enlarges gnome-panel

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect, P3)

Description

[IcedSoal]

ok this is really weird, but i'll try to explan it.  i click "new card" in my
address book and start adding, then i erase, and everything's all right right up
until i deleted the last character in the "First:" "Last:" or "Display:" field

for example if i was making an entry for myself and i typed "IcedSoal" in the
"First:" field as my first name, then i decided i wanted to erase that, i can
hit backspace all i want but as soon as i delete the "I" in "IcedSoal" hence
making the "First:" field empty my gnome panel immediately expands to about 3 or
for times it's normal height becoming quite an eyesore on my screen, if i close
the address entry i was editing by hitting "Ok" or "Cancel" then gnome-panel
goes right back it's normal height.  i tested all the fields in the new card
dialog and the only fields that create this bug w/ gnome-panel when you erase
your input completely to zero are the "First:" "Last:" and "Display:" fields,
all the other fields can be erased to no input w/ no problem... sorry for
writing so much but i think that explains it... i'm using build 2000041409

I haven't tried this on Linux yet, but is this still happening?

no it doesn't do it anymore, if your at the end of text hitting the cursor will

remain where it is no matter how many times u hit the right arrow, but if you're

on a new line (after hitting enter) hitting the right arrow key produces the

following error message in the console



JavaScript error:

 line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:

0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIController.doCommand]"  nsresult:
