155595 - spacebar in textarea scrolls to bottom of page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26882

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Simon Cooper]

while trying to type in a message in the planetarion forums (url above), when i
try to add a space bar in the text box or singel line boxes, the space is added
but the screen view moves to the bottom of the page, and when you type in a
letter it goes back up to the textbox

NOTE: This is an occasional bug, it does not happen all the time (but most of
the time)

mozilla build: 2002053012 (mozilla 1.0)
relevant html code: (planetarion servers currently under a DoS attack), to get
it start a new topic and look through the source (will also put it into context)

I don't see this in build 2002061104 on Windows 2000.

I tried, pounded on the keyboard and spacebar for like 10 minutes. Moved the
mouse around at the same time. Tried both a textarea and a textbox.

ive isolated one page where it happens:

http://pirate.planetarion.com/forum/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid=139809

here is ther relavent textarea code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
		<tr valign="top">
			<td><textarea name="message" rows="20" cols="40" wrap="virtual"
tabindex="2"></textarea><br>
			<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" ><a
href="javascript:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message
length]</a></font></td>

		</tr>
		</table>

Ive also noticed it happens OCCASSIONALLY on this bugzilla page:

<textarea wrap="hard" name="comment" rows="10" cols="80"
            accesskey="c"></textarea>

they've both got 'wrap=' attributes set

Argh! It happened to me in google, pressing the space bar in the search box on a
results page. And I cannot recreate it after shutting down the browser and
trying to do the same thing again. I'll just have to pay *super* careful
attention to what i'm doing before it happens to see if there is a
reproduceable/dependable trigger.

Have you seen this in 1.0 branch builds, or the trunk?  If the people who see
this see it only in 1.0 branch builds, then it seems like a duplicate of bug
26882, which has been fixed on the trunk.
