1632472 - Focus bug in Twitter web interface when entering emoji

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1625475

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[David A. Madore]

Steps to recreate (tested with Firefox versions 73 and 75 on Linux, using Twitter's web interface, at least between 2020-04-09 and 2020-04-23):

• open Twitter web site and log in,

• start a new tweet,

• type a few letters, say, "xx", then enter an emoji using the emoji menu provided by twitter, then a few more letters, say, "yy",

• click on the letters before the emoji to position the caret (cursor) there, say, between the two x's,

• hit backspace, hoping to erase the character before the caret:

• instead, the last character is erased.

The same does not occur with Chrome.

Reported on Twitter itself: https://twitter.com/gro_tsen/status/1248021381847138306 — where various people have confirmed encountering the same bug with various versions of Firefox.
