18583 - Typing into input fields doesn't scroll when full

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 18353

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[endah]

I noticed this bug on the URL provided - but it occurs on all other pages I've
tried also.

If one types into an input field like the ones present on the bugzilla entry
form, and fills up the field with text... when continuing typing, the text does
not scroll across - it seems to continue typing because when deleting it deletes
the relevant number of characters that were typed... but visually the field
looks like it is scrolling and then jerking back... and the very last character
becomes a mixed up character of the different characters that are being typed.

This is occuring on a build of mozilla from source downloaded at about 11am 10th
November (time according to mozilla CVS). I don't know if it extends to other
builds.

On Windows on a single line text field I'm correctly getting horizontal
scrolling.  However on a mutliline text area vertical scrolling is definitely
not working when the field becomes full.  Maybe a problem with the gfx
scrollbars or just the field itself?  I guess I'm thinking maybe rods on this
one?  Or buster?  I'll let them figure out who gets it.

This works fine with native scrollbars, it is all hosed with GFX scrollbars.
reassigning to buster.

This bug is a dup of bug #18353.

The bug about vertical scrolling not working with Gfx scrollbars is bug #20107,
which I checked in a fix for yesterday.
