26751 - TextField cannot scroll without garbage

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Michael Yan]

Steps to Reproduce:

(1) Take a textfield with a visible length
(2) Type until you fill the textfield beyond it's visible capacity

Error that Occurs:

The textfield begins to have letters typed on top of each other or halfway as it
doesn't scroll to hold more text.

Expected Result:

The textfield would follow the letter and scroll along while previous letters
are stored away and aren't visible anymore.  Access to the text would of course
be expected to by simply using HOME or arrows or dragging of mouse through box.

Platform tested:

Mozilla M13 Milestone
Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 w/ 2.2.14 kernel GLIBC 2.1, rest is stock
64 MB RAM, X Free 3.3.4 server

Accepting bug. Marking M14.

I'll bet money that [e-mail] has Native scrollbars enabled instead of Gfx
scrollbars.

[e-mail], please select Edit->Preferences from the menus, click on the
Debug tab and see if the Gfx Scrollbars check box is checked. If it isn't, you
are using Native Gtk scrollbars which is a known problem that we are not
planning on fixing.

I haven't heard anything back about this. TextFields scroll fine for me with Gfx
Scrollbars (the default) are on.

I'm marking this WORKSFORME.

[e-mail], if you can reproduce this problem with Gfx Scrollbars enabled,
reopen the bug.
