304640 - Ghost cursor(s) appear in URL-Bar or XUL textbox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304383

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

With a current nightly build of Firefox, you sometimes see ghost cursor(s)
appearing in the urlbar (also in combination with selecting something from
autocomplete. Another situation where ghost cursor appear is in Chatzilla when
you have sent a message to a channel (Chatzilla uses a XUL textbox). In
Chatzilla the ghost cursor only seems to appear when typing a string which some
minimal length (together with the nickname maybe?). I'll attach a screenshot
showing this ghost cursor.
This probably regressed between 2005-08-12-05 and 2005-08-13-05.

Related to bug 304383?

Comment 3

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Yeah could be related, though the regression range would not match (maybe
another bug being exposed through a new checkin?) and i'm quite sure that the
range is correct.

Does the patch in bug 304383 help?

Comment 5

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Yeah looks like the patch there fixes it (also i still wonder why my regression
range is different :).
