16989 - trailing |'s when editing a URL in location bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 12195

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[Hugh Kennedy]

placing cursor at far right of location field, hold down the
"backspace" key. I get a series of '|' tracers. They are cosmetic
in that they aren't editable, and disappear when the window
is repainted, but they _really_ stick out.

e.g.

http://www.mozilla.org/
becomes
http://www.|||||||||||||
when i edit the location inplace.

This is with M10 on WinNT4 (sp5) build ID: 1999101618

This bug seems to be related to cursor issues in all text fields on the
NT build. I've not been able to test this on another platform yet..

I believe this was fixed early in M11 by Kin's caret drawing work.  assigning to
kin, who'll probably dup it.

Comment 2

This has been fixed already.
