1564855 - Home and End keys do not scroll when text field has cursor focus

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: User Interface, defect)

Description

[BZilla]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to any bug page (e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1482338).
2. Click with mouse on any text field (e.g. Opened). Note the cursor changes to "text" (I-beam).

Actual results:

Pressing Home and End keys moves to the beginning and end of the text field that has focus.

Expected results:

Pressing Home and End keys should scroll to the beginning and end of the page. The only way to fix is to reload the page.

I'm not sure if this behavior is related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1563360, but I don't remember this happening until recently.

Pressing Home and End keys moves to the beginning and end of the text field that has focus.

This is the default behaviour in a web browser including Firefox. Nothing new, and not specific to Bugzilla. You just need to move focus out of the text field by clicking anywhere on the page or hitting the Tab key.

If the issue happens on any text, not only in text input fields, you have turned on the caret browsing mode in Firefox for some reason.

Thank you and apologies, I did not know about caret browsing mode until today!
