131185 - tabbing to a field does not select the contents

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 28583

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Kee Hinckley]

From Bugzilla Helper:

The standard Macintosh behavior has always been to select the contents of the
field when you tab into.  If you don't want to replace the field, you press an
arrow key to go the beginning or end of the selection.  Windows uses the model
that tabbing goes to the end of the text in the field (which is why webserver
logs have lovely entries like: (http://www.excite.com/http://www.example.com/"
in them).

On the Mac, tabbing to a form field should select the contents of the form.

Reproducible: Always
