39869 - Textbox text not automatically scrolled when hilited

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[WD]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000518
BuildID:    2000051820

When there is more text than what can fit in a form text box, it scrolls when
entered.   And it normally automatically scrolls when it's hilited with the
mouse.    But if the text box isn't clicked *first* and then hilited / scrolled,
it'll only hilite what's currently visible in the box.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://www.google.com	
2.Type in a *long* search string.   (more than what'll fit in the box)
3.Click search
4.Try to hilite the entire text box contents with only one mouse click

Actual Results:  It hilites what's currently visible in the text box	

Expected Results:  The text automatically scrolls so that the user can hilite
the entire text in the box.

Another focus issue?

I'm using the same build as you (2000051808), but when I hilight the text box it
works fine.  Can you be a bit more specific?

OK.   Try this:

1. Go to http://www.google.com
2. Type in:  asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf
3. Click search
4. Before clicking *anywhere* else, click at the beginning of the text box, and
hold the mouse button down, moving the mouse to the right to hilite the text in
the box.   Do not let go of the mouse button and click again.  This should all
be done with a single mouse click and hold.

You should notice that only the text currently visible in the text box will
hilite.   It will *not* scroll the text to hilite the text that's outside of the
text box because the search string is too long to fit in the box.  This happens
every time.   Just follow my directions exactly.

If you do happen to clik somewhere in the screen, it will scroll the text fine
to hilite all of the text.

Seems like a selection bug of some kind.  Reassigning to mjudge.
