691399 - Camino : incorrect character counting in text area

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: HTML Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Barbulesco]

Often, I use keyboard arrows to move in text. Sometimes, I use them to count characters.

With the steps described, the behaviour is incorrect in Camino.

The steps described go rightwards. When going leftwards, Camino has the problem too.

When keeping Shift pressed with the steps described, for selecting text, Camino has the problem too.

Other browsers, on both Mac and Windows, handle all of that correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Camino, go to address http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=edit .
2. Erase all the content of the sandbox field.
3. In the sandbox field, enter the following text:
"All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
4. In my window, the text soft wraps between "and" and "public". If necessary, adjust your window so that you have the same soft wrap.
5. Click between the "n" and the "d" of "and".
6. Press four times the right arrow on the keyboard.


Actual Results:  
I am before the "u" of "public".


Expected Results:  
I am after the "u" of "public".


Camino version 2.0.9 (1.9.0.19 2011091218). Mac OS X 10.6.8.

WFM in 2.1b3pre.

Please either upgrade to 2.1b2 or stop filing bugs until 2.1 is released, as Stuart has asked you twice now before.  Filing bugs on 2.0.9 right now is a waste of everyone's time.
