495092 - typing can appear behind icons (lock, rss) in URL bar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: Location Bar & Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[timeless]

steps:
0. copy the url from this bug's url field to your clipboard
1. load about:blank
2. use cmd-l to focus the urlbar (if it does something else, please fix your browser)
3. press cmd-v
4. press cmd-l
5. press right-arrow

expected results:
cursor should never be to the right of the left edge of the leftmost icon in the urlbar (assuming LTR urlbars...)

actual results:
your cursor will be to the right of both the Feed and Lock icons.

Missing is step 3.5: hit return.

And to capture a critical piece of information from irc that didn't make it into the report: this is a race condition; you have to do step 4 and 5 before the page finishes loading (because the issue here is that the field editor isn't getting new frame information when the textfield changes the padding, so the field editor has to be active before the icons appear).

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
