325099 - predefined textarea text not displaying

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[scotty_web-form-use]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

When I go to a Web page with a <textarea> element, and within that element there is some text, that text doesn't appear in the text area.

For example,
  <textarea style="background-color: #FBE765" rows="25" cols="80" name="note">This is a note.</textarea>
renders an empty text area.

The only workaround I know of is to use a reload link of one sort or another ON THE PAGE.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Find a page that has a <textarea> like I described above.
2.  Go to it.
3.  Look at the rendered text area.




I am using SUSE Linux 10.0.  I had installed the MozillaFirefox package (which installed Firefox 1.0.6), but later downloaded Firefox 1.5 and installed it in my home directory.  (Also, I am new to Linux.)

Can you test this in a new profile? And if you see it in a new profile, can you test in an official mozilla.org build? If this were a problem I'm sure someone would've pointed it out by now. This is probably being caused by an extension/theme, or some weird buildconfig options SuSE used. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager

Nevermind.  It's working now.  It could have been an update.
