17256 - text longer than textfield displayed strange when scrolling right

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 13407

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Sebastian Späth]

Linux RH6.1 Build 1999192616

Go into a textfield (e.g. the summary above) that contains text longer than the
field. "Right-cursor" to the end.

When leaving the textfield, text does not scroll, but repeats the first letters
of the line at the beginning of the line!

Going back shows up some cursors in equal distance, that gets smaller when going
left.
 (attaching screenshot)

This is just a display error, moving a window over it will restore the correct
display.

Same happened with builds a few days ago, so it's not a one build mistake.

BTW: Is it correct that CTRL-Cursor goes to the very end/beginning of a line
(and not just one word?)

Yup, right it's exactly the same bug. I don't own it, but take the freedom to
mark it as duplicate as I reported it.
