219054 - Should have a pixel-wide space separating the caret against the preceding letter

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Quan Nguyen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The blinking caret appears right next to the immediately preceding character
making it somewhat difficult to view. Should give a one-pixel-wide space
separating it against the character.

The spacing between the caret and the immediately following character is
currently fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move the caret to the last character of the URL in the Location Bar
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
There's no space between the last character and the caret.

Expected Results:  
There should be a one-pixel-wide space between the last character and the caret
to aid visibility.

Do the same thing on Internet Explorer, a one-pixel-wide space between the caret
and the immediately preceding character is visible.
