29772 - Mouseover textbox does not cause I-beam cursor

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Jerry Baker]

When the mouse is moved over text input boxes it should turn into an I-beam. 
This is how it works in IE and NC 4.X.

Reassign to HTML Form Control group.  I'm not sure if the cursor should change 
until the text field has gotten focus.  Leave shuang on the cc list.

That's how 4.X and IE work (and Mozilla till a short while before I filed this).

The I beam is only present after the editor has been installed (gotten focus) 
and then the I beam only shows over the portion of the "box" that has text in 
it.

Right. This is contrary to how every other browser acts. It is also contrary to 
how all other text editors that I have used work.

should be a simple matter of setting the cursor via the style system, if cursors 
are supported.  I'll have to check with the style guys to see if we've 
implemented that yet.

I know that it is insane nitpicking, but a textbox that has focus still does not 
get the I-beam cursor. Textboxes that do not have focus do get them, however.

verifying using 2000062520 nightly on w2k. textboxes that have focus get the I-
beam cursor & mousing over a textbox gets the I-beam cursor
