1.In most Mac OS/Mac OS X applications, if you click on the top or bottom line
in a text entry field, and then hit the up or down arrow, the cursor should jump
to the beginning or end of the field, respectively.

Firebird's behavior doesn't follow this. If I click on a single-line text entry
field and then hit the up or down arrow, the cursor does not move. This doesn't
match other Mac OS X applications' behavior. While this isn't a major bug, it is
annoying.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click in a single-line text entry field in Firebird.
2.Hit the up or down arrow.
Actual Results:  
The cursor does not move.

Expected Results:  
If you hit the up or down arrow in a single-line text entry field, the cursor
should jump to the beginning or the end of the field, respectively.

this is wfm.  last line + down = end of text.  first line + up = start of text.
 only line + up = start of text, first line + down = end of text.  all right
here in this page, no less :)  is there a particular field that doesn't work for
you?
