132296 - Cursor is offset from insertion point

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[David Bradley]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1)
Gecko/20020314 Netscape6/6.2.2
BuildID:    20020319 Trunk

The cursor is not positioned at insertion point. If I move to text near the far
right, the cursor is about one character passed the point of insertion.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Composer
2. Open a document with long lines, 120 characters or more. or create a line
3. Click on a position near the far right noting where you clicked
4. Type some text, notice where the text shows up

Actual Results:  Characters typed appear slightly before where the cursor is
positioned.

Expected Results:  Characters should appear where the cursor was positioned

I tried this on Linux, and it appears to be a Windows only problem.

I see the problem on a CVS build I pulled on 3/19/02. I filed the but with
Netscape 6.22. This may be a duplicate, but it's back if it is.

I'll attach a screen shot

dbradley--I believe you are really seeing bug 98564
Could you verify that this bug is really a duplicate of that bug?

Attachment: Another example

Unfortunately it's not. This occurs in the middle of the line as well, not just
the end, and it's a full character off. The new gif I attached is a better
example. I typed the letter 'f' after clicking just past the second 's' in the
word 'issues'.

Attachment: This is HTML that demonstrates problem in Composer

I put the insert text here sentence. Make your window wide enough to have this
near the end of the line.

Attachment: Test Case for debugging.

This bug seems related to multiple spaces in a textnode, coupled with wrapping,
as this test case shows.

--> mjudge (selection/caret)

Giving to mjudge since he owns selection/caret, and I think he wrote the code
that calculates the x coordinate which the caret uses.

Cursor is also offset in the dialog boxes that you use to set up Mail.  The
cursor is always one pixel width left of where it should be.  The result is that
you can't see the right edge of the letter that you last typed.  It consistently
does this.

EDITORBASE+, need to figure out if this still happens on all platforms. qawanted

[David Bradley]

On my system now, with a build from yesterday (2/20/03) it looks better, but it
still seems to be slightly to the left. I've changed systems since I first saw
this behavior, so I don't know if that's the cause, or if something in Mozilla
changed that made this better.
