1. New profile, start firefox
2. In the search bar, write 'quick brown fox'
3. Press ctrl-right arrow

Expected
- When caret is at end of text area, ctrl-right arrow shouldn't move the caret

Actual
- Caret wraps around to the beginning of the search bar

This can be seen in regular text areas too, including going the other way (ctrl-left arrow). There is an effect in multi-line textareas too, but the behaviour seems more complicated.

(Apologies if this is in the wrong component)

I'm going to guess it was the text-frame.

Hmm, this now seems to WFM.

Sounds likely.
