Since I'm having the issue on Bugzilla too, I'm very surprised I didn't find the bug in my search... apologies for any duplicates... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find a text field. 2. Type at least a sentence, 3. Look at the result, try to delete, etc. Actual Results: **** text on screen Expected Results: Typed properly. It didn't not crash, reloading the page didn't help. Noticed my processor was somewhat pegged during typing... I suspect it's related...
works fine for me with 1.0a1, both on the url given and here in bugzilla.
(In reply to comment #1) > works fine for me with 1.0a1, both on the url given and here in bugzilla. I visited the buzilla page again in Camino 2005091409 (1.0a1) and reproduced the same results. What other information would be useful to you here? I could post a screen shot. It looks as if it's having screen-redraw issues, because if you delete something, the cursor goes backwards, but the text remains to the right, but gets more distorted. Also when typing, the cursor does not advance far enough to the left, in front of the lead letter... This happens with the monospace font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 13pt" as my default for monospace.... bingo, I switched the font to "Andale Mono" and it works swell. I then tested Vera in TextEdit, and had no similar issues, so the font does not appear to be corrupted. If the font doesn't sound familiar, it can be downloaded for free at http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ I'm using 10.4.2, build 8C46, all current updates applied. PB 12" 867, 640mb RAM I'll be happy to send any additional info as needed. Till then, guess I'm not using Vera mono...
It's that "non-Mac fonts" bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 288047 ***
