Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Todd R. Haverstock]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    20001205

The following code which my servlet generates:
<input type="text" name="Foo" value="" onFocus="this.select();">
yields a missing cursor when you attempt to focus on that text box with the 
mouse.  If the value in not empty, there is no problem.  The above code works 
fine in NS4.X and IE4.X & 5.X.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use above code example and attempt to focus on the text input with the 
mouse.  You will not see a cursor but are able to type in text.

Actual Results:  No cursor visible.

Expected Results:  Cursor should be visible.

I can see the problem with a linux build as well.  Setting OS -> all and status
to new.

Correct, you need to click twice to get a cursor in this one. Using build
2000121104 on WinNT4 Sp6b

I cant reproduce this one, it actually seems to work fine for me (on 1-16-2001 
build).  Still, I'll reassing it to Saari for his evaluation.

Saari, this looks like another one of those event/focus bugs with text fields 
(like 39999, 53579, 54936, 58361, etc...)  I believe this is yours.  But I will 
help in anyway I can if you need it.
