28009 - Shift+Ctrl+Arrow doesn't extend selection

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[bunkin]

Text fields blink when you switch between them, pull-down menus get some dotted
border which doesn't disappear, radio buttons change their look when you check
and uncheck them; cursor moves too slow in the textarea fields, I can't select
any text with Shift+Ctrl+Right (I mean holding shift then pressing Ctrl and
right or left arrow, for fast select). Word wrap works ****, sometimes when
you type  there can be a space before the text line and you can't delete it
(when you complete a word on the line, then type in a space, that space goes on
the other line). The cursor is sometimes positioned too left, so you can't
properly see the letter you type. Sometimes when you press Enter you get a two
lines break, then it comes into one line break when you start typing, and
sometimes it doesn't happen.

Just check out some big forms on the 'Net, and try to use them - you'll see
everything yourself.

I'm using Windows 98, Second Edition on a Pentium III 500Mhz.

I it is usually best and customary to file separate bugs on each issue.

1) Text fields blink when you switch between them - I think this is a known 
issue (I'll make sure)
2) pull-down menus get some dotted border which doesn't disappear - bug already 
filed
3) radio buttons change their look when you check and uncheck them - known issue 
, basically the same as #2

4) cursor moves too slow in the textarea fields - may be a new issue

5) I can't select any text with Shift+Ctrl+Right - may be a new issue

6) Word wrap works crappy - probably a known issue

7) he cursor is sometimes positioned too left - don't know

8) Sometimes when you press Enter you get a two lines break - don't know

[e-mail] - we definately appreciate you taking the time to submit 
the bug.  but in the future, if you could separate different problems into 
separate bugs, it makes it MUCH easier for us to track, assign, and fix the 
problems.  Thanks again for your help.


1) Text fields blink when you switch between them - bug already sumbitted

4) cursor moves too slow in the textarea fields - bug already sumbitted

5) I can't select any text with Shift+Ctrl+Right - I don't see a bug for this 
one yet

6) Word wrap works crappy - bug already sumbitted

7) he cursor is sometimes positioned too left - bug already sumbitted

8) Sometimes when you press Enter you get a two lines break - bug already 
sumbitted

So the only remaining issue this bug covers is Shift+Ctrl+Arrow doesn't work.  
reassigning to mjudge.

this seems fixed to me. it was a problem about a week or so ago. please retest. 
if still a problem file a new bug specifying exactly what went wrong and sample 
web pages(even if it seems simple) and exact steps would greatly be appreciated.

The shift+ctrl+right selection problem was bug 25462, "Control shift left arrow 
doesn't select word", FIXED - just for the record... except in <TEXTAREA>s,
which is covered by bug 28313, "Shift+Ctrl+Arrow doesn't extend/create selection 
in textarea", NEW.
