Details
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win98; en-US; m14) Netscape6/6.0b1
BuildID: 2000033112
After moving the flashing "insert cursor" to the end of the text in a "text box"
and then pressing the "right arrow" key one more time, the flashing "insert
cursor" disappears. The flashing "insert cursor" can be moved to the end of the
text either by pressing the "End" key or by advancing it with the "right arrow"
key repeatedly. However, if the flashing "insert cursor" is moved to the start
of the text (by using the "Home" key or by using the "left arrow" key
repeatedly), it does NOT disappear when the "left arrow" key is pressed one more
time.
This problem happens with the URL text entry box at the top of the Web browser
and also with text boxes on Web pages that have HTML FORMs.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the mouse on a text entry box that contains some text.
2. Press the "End" key.
3. Press the "right arrow" key.
Actual Results: The flashing "insert cursor" disappears. Subsequent data keys
that are typed are ignored. It is necessary to click the mouse on the text box
again in order to restore the flashing "insert cursor".
Expected Results: No-operation -- that is, the additional "right-arrow" keys
should be ignored. The flashing "insert cursor" should remain visible, and it
should stay in the same spot (at the end of the text).
Marking as new/minor. Many more important bugs, but something that should be
looked into. By the way, when using only Netscape6 (netscape branded release)
and not a mozilla build use the Help/Feedback Center.
If you also have a mozilla build, and or access to one, if you can confirm that
the bug is in mozilla (I confirmed this one for you) then report it to mozilla
also. :) thanx
