59192 - Typing a space in a TEXTAREA form causes the entire page to scroll down with GtkMozEmbed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 5419

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect, P3)

Description

[Aaron Lehmann]

On some forms, typing a space causes the entire web page to scroll down one
page. This is very annoying. Note that this is not completely reproducable. I
see this happen with the diary entry form at http://www.advogato.org/diary/ (you
will need to create an account and log in to see the form there), but as I type
this bug report the bug is not appearing.

Confirmed at http://www.advogato.org/diary/ with SkipStone and TestGtkEmbed.

maybe w need to reopen bug 5419 Typing space in a form takes you to bottom of 
page

There is also a nasty interaction with the back button and textareas, where if
you scroll a page, go forward, go back, and type in a textarea, the page jumps
down to the scroll position and back up on every key stroke.  Related?

I'm seeing this too from time to time, but not often. Quitting and restarting 
Mozilla usually fixes it.

You see it mozilla, too?  Not just the emedding widget, right?

[Fabian Guisset]

Christopher : yes, although it's quite rare, and usually hitting back and then
reloading the page fixes the problem. But it still happens in Mozilla.

This is a dup.  I'm reopening bug 5419, though.
