382768 - Cmd+clicking a textarea in a table and then typing puts text outside the textarea

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 339975

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Attachment: testcase

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070531 Minefield/3.0a5pre

Steps to reproduce:
1. Cmd+click a textarea that happens to be inside a table.
2. Type something, or press Cmd+V.

Result: instead of going into the textarea, the text goes into the <tr> as a text node before the <td> that contains the <textarea>.

I saw this bug several times on enter_bug.cgi because I would start holding Cmd early in anticipation of pressing Cmd+V (paste).  I only just now figured out that that was the reason, allowing me to come up with steps to reproduce and then a reduced testcase.

Reproduced with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070531 Minefield/3.0a5pre

The first letter gets inserted before the <td>. At second time reproducing, the scrollbar does not get updated anymore and the area which was invisible during ctrl+click isn't shown.
