Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 290469

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

When entering text into a texarea in a form (such as this one in Bugzilla), if
you have several paragraphs of text and a vertical scrollbar, it appears that
clicking  beyond the end of the text on a give line, takes the caret to another
(the wrong) line if the scrollbar is anywhere other than the top.

I'm trying to reproduce this problem here in bugzilla. It appears that the
requirements are:
1. Textarea has a scrollbar
2. Scrollbar is not at the top
3. Mouse clicked beyond the end of text on a given line


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter lots of text in a textarea
2. Make sure it has a vertical scrollbar not at the top
3. Click beyond the end of a line


Actual Results:  
The caret moves to another line some way above the one that was clicked on

Expected Results:  
The caret moves to the end of the line that was clicked on

I just tried it by pasting some Lorem Ipsum into this textbox... When I click in
some wrapped whitespace the cursor and caret work like they usually do.

WFM. This bug is covered by bug 290469 and so is marked a dupe of it.
Mark, can you try a more recent build to confirm that this bug has been solved
for you?
