206905 - Interactive Session view: up arrow leaves cursor in wrong position

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect)

Description

[Phil Schwartau]

Using Mozilla trunk binary 2003052304 on WinNT4.0; Venkman 0.9.75

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Bring up Venkman
2. Enter "window" at the Interactive Session command line
3. Hit the up arrow on your keyboard
4. You see "window" at the command line again
5. BUG: the cursor is between the "o" and the "w"
6. EXPECT: it should be after the last letter

Note: I'm seeing this bug on Windows only. My Linux build
of the same date does not have this problem -

I have some old builds on my WinNT machine that I have checked.
I can narrow the timeframe for the bug down to this interval:

 NO BUG: Mozilla 2003-03-20 (rv:1.4a)  Venkman version 0.9.48
HAS BUG: Mozilla 2003-03-31 (rv:1.4a)  Venkman version 0.9.57

I'm surprised it happened in March; I thought it was more recent.
Tomorrow, I will experiment by installing different versions of
Venkman onto the working Mozilla build and see what happens -

It looks like someone has made it so that the up and down arrows can be used to
move the cursor left or right in multiline text boxes, on windows.  Venkman
needs to cancel the "default" action for up and down to prevent this.  Try out
version 0.9.76 from hacksrus.  It seems to work for me.

Just downloaded version 0.9.77 of Venkman from hacksrus on WinNT4.0.
The problem does seem to be fixed!
