Details

1. Opened Mozilla 5.0m12 2. Choose 'Preferences...' from the Edit menu. 3. Choose Advanced:Proxies to get to the 'Configure proxies access the internet' panel 4. Choose the 'Automatic proxy configuration' radio button. 5. Type in a config URL. 6. Try to use arrow keys to move the cursor back or forward in the field. Result: Cursor does not move.
Target Milestone: M15
Component: Pref UI → Preferences
Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component. Pref UI component will be deleted.
does this bug still exist? Is the proxy config editfield the only place the arrow keys don't work in an editfield? Matt, if this is still a bug and affects more than that one editfield, feel free to reassign it to me.
yes, this is still a problem, and it's not limited to this particular textfield. seems to occur in all textfields in Preferences, and all platforms. updating summary. i also don't think it's trivial since the user can no longer edit the text (unless s/he clicks in the field again) here's the recipe: 1. open Preferences. 2. go to any panel that has a textfield, eg, Advanced > Proxies, Navigator, etc. 3. click in the textfield and enter some text. 4. move the cursor (with the left arrow key) a few times; it should and does move as expected. 5. move the cursor (with the right arrow key) all the way to the end of the string you entered. 6. hit the right arrow key again. result: the cursor disappears. unable to move to the left, either. also unable to enter/edit the text. workaround: click in the textfield and the cursor reappears. might be wishful thinking, but am nominating for beta1.
