103154 - Incorrect cursor placement when clicking beyond end-of-line in textarea

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 83650

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Dennis Ballance]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091303

The cursor is misplaced if the mouse is clicked beyond the end of a line in a
textarea. Frequently it appears a couple rows above the cursor, or may instead
highlight a large chunk of text. Clicking beyond the end of a line should place
the cursor at the end of that line.

This seems to happen more often if there are multiple paragraphs, and
particularly if the text exceeds the length of the textarea and the area has
been scrolled down. It also happens when clicking below the last line of text.



Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce: Enter text in a text field sufficient to induce a scrollbar;
scroll down; click below last line of text, and beyond ends of lines.

this page is a good place to test this things

i used the 1º textarea but happend too with others:
-if we put the cursor in the end and press right arrow it will jump to the start
-clicking and dragging a little horizontaly below the last line select the text
until "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html line and stop the selection in the same
vertical place where the cursor were
-just cliking puts the cursor in the "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html line in the
same vertical place where the mouse were


at least for me this happend all the times
