Details

Ctrl+A does not select all inside a TextArea, although clicking on "Select All"
from the toolbar edit menu does select all.

To reproduce:

1. Load a page with a textarea.
2. Type in some text in the textarea.
3. Press Ctrl+A. Nothing happens.
4. Go Edit->Select All. All text in textarea is selected.

Using Linux build 2001062212.
Build 2001062420 win32
I'm guessing this is only a linux bug as Ctrl-A works on win32

This isn't a bug.  Ctrl-a goes to beginning of line on Linux in text entry
widgets.  See bug 72352 and its duplicates.
