614739 - Using arrow keys to move cursor in textarea then using backspace leaves orphaned trailing text

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Einspanjer [:dre] [:deinspanjer]]

Nightly build 20101124
Sprint Epic 4G (Galaxy S Pro)

Was commenting on a blog and used the arrow keys to delete some text that was not at the end of the textarea.  After doing so, I could try to move the cursor to the end, but when I would type, the text would appear at the point of last deletion. If I moved cursor to end and tried to backspace, it would delete characters to the left of last deletion instead of cursor location.

ran into the same problem writing this bug so had to submit unfinished. :)

STR:
begin writing comment to this bug with Fennec
type "hello world"
backspace twice to delete the ld at the end
left arrow to the end of the word hello
backspace to delete "hello"
click at end of text or use right arrow

Expected result
ability to append text
ability to delete the text "wor"

Actual results
No further text manipulation possible to the right of the last deletion point.

Daniel, can you try this in a more recent build to see if it works for you please?

this particular problem is not reproducable with today's build.  still having lots of display problems with editing textarea, but I need to find out if that is a previously reorted problem

I had issues with editing text as well, maybe you ran into this bug 602013?

Closing this one as WFM, please reopen if you resee the issue.
