Overview Description: In the <textfield> of the finddialog.xul dialog (Find on this Page...), when focus is set in the texfield, there is no caret, and when text is selected, there is no blue/white colour inversion to highlight the selection Steps to Reproduce: 1) start mozilla, Search->Find on this Page... to get the dialog 2) click to ensure focus in the textfield Actual Results: no caret Expected Results: caret 3) enter a few words of text, then double click (or click-drag) to highlight the text Actual Results: no selection highlight Expected Results: highlight Note: there is a selection in effect -- you can cut what should be selected and subsequently paste what you have cut Reproducibility: always Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 2000052015 win95 && 2000052015 win2k Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: ALSO FOUND: mozilla build 2000051708 NOT FOUND: on linux 20000520 or mac 20000520 Additional Information: I poked around at the XUL, and removing various combinations of elements from the window would allow this to start working correctly. Unfortunately there was no obvious reason why this was happening. So -- it's not really editor, but some interaction in this dialog. Sorry to hit you up, Simon, but I see you have already tussled with this dialog before.
Strange. Windows only, or XP? Maybe there is some box/focus weirdness going on here.

Windows only. (Although on linux the initial '.focus()' call seems to be not working, but when you manually set focus on linux, you get the caret and selection hightlighting; mac works fine in all cases).

I suggest changing the component. This is not Editor specific.

Adding myself to cc list. I see something similiar in chatInvite dialog, the caret does not appear when clicking on the textfield.
This works now.

Yep. Fixed. 2000072108 win95 (this was a windows only behaviour, but, for the record, it also checks out OK on current linux and mac builds).
