2112 - Two text areas getting selected at once

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 5014

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect, P4)

Description

[douliana3]

On the given URL, I was able to select some text in a form textbox, then select
another textbox, type and select the text in the other textbox without the
first textbox text getting unselected, so I had two selectionas of text in
different textboxes selected at once.

All of selection is going to get whacked, but I'll reassign so someone looks at
this.

We need to make sure the old selection (in the same presentation shell, at
least) gets cleared when a new selection is made.  Sounds like Mike's area.

[QA Assigning to self. Verification note: also be sure to check a frames-based
page, e.g. marvin, as it currently allows concurrent selections in each frame.]

[leger]

Per a request from Selection and Search component eng (mjudge) and qa (elig),
moving all "Selection and Search" bugs to new "Selection" component.  Original
"Selection and Search" component will be retired.

[mjudge]

I belive the focus code went in for this milestone so I should be able to get
this to work for the next milestone

Comment 15

[mjudge]

this is a dup since both deal with the "focus" and selection issue and rendering
text unselected ect.
