274748 - The message input section of webmessenger is not always responding

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Wong, Paul]

I think this is javascript problem. Sorry if I'm wrong.

I was using firefox 20041215 build. When using web msn messenger, the text input
area (in the message window) does not always work. The cursor does not always
appear. While you can still input, you cannot relocate your cursor by keyboard
arrows, and you cannot select text by mouse.

Please note that it sometimes work (so not "always reproducible", but I'm sure
this problem appears at least once in a few chats).

This problem does not really happen on firefox 1.0

Almost certainly not a JS engine bug.

A testcase that shows the problem would be nice.

There's no "Core: General" component, so picking next-best thing based on report.
