26064 - arrow press in input and textarea fields is VERY slow

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Scott Springer]

When submitting my last bug, I noticed that the cursor was VERY difficult to
control, especially when using the cursor keys on the keyboard to move backward
through text that I've already typed.  This is very annoying at best and causes
real problems in an environment where quick text entry is essential to the task
at hand.

selection and navigation bugs go to mike.  cc joe just in case he knows 
something.  I don't see this on windows, but I have a fast machine, maybe that 
matters?

Scott S:  what is your hardward and software configuration?  Which build of 
mozilla are you using?  Thanks!

It's a slower machine, but it really isn't running anything other than Linux and 
X11.  I think it's an old P133 w/ 64MB RAM.  Could be a P100.  However, it's the 
same config that I have on my NT machine and I don't have any problems with 
Mozilla on the NT.  (Yes, the company doesn't give the consultants the best 
equipment in the world!)

I'm using M13 on both machines.

Mike -- setting this to M16 and putting dependency on 26389

I've seen the same behavior on my 200 Mhz Pentium, running RedHat Linux 6.1.
I'm running the M13 full circle build.

I'm gonna wait for today's linux build and retest this, becuase this is dog slow 
on the Linux 2000-07-14-21-M17 Commercial build.  Works fine on Mac & Windows of 
the same day.
