407155 - Alt/Ctrl+Arrow selection (select by word) behavior has regressed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect, P3)

Description

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

It looks like bug 385565 has regressed within the past two days. I've noticed it because Alt+Shift+Left Arrow while the cursor is at the end of a Bugzilla URL now includes the "=" sign, when it used not to. The behavior from 385565 comment 0 is also back.

Ah, perhaps caused by bug 392809?

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Can we get some regression tests in for this stuff?  Worst-case, using different key events per-platform?

Comment 3

+'ing P3.

We should just back out 392809 for beta2.

We have regression tests for this stuff. Using different key events per-platform. I don't know why they didn't catch this. Guess they're not complete enough.

Attachment: backout

This is a direct backout of 392809 and as such, doesn't need review IMHO.

checked in.

Could we update the regression tests to be "complete enough"?
