73327 - entering text in certain edit fields causes text to jump up and down

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[xolaware.llc]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; 0.8.1)
BuildID:    2001032308

if the box used to allow a field of text to be entered (like this very
"Description" field of the bugzilla helper page) is a little too small given the
font being used, then when typing text into the field, for every keystroke
pressed, the text will jump up and then back down.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set the fixed font to monaco 10
2. go to the URL http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html
3. go to the description field
4. enter at least three lines of text
5. on the fourth line of text, watch the text in the box


Actual Results:  for every keystroke pressed, the text jumps up, and then back down.

Expected Results:  the text in the window should stay in one place once

Hmm... I 'm not able to reproduce the problem with the March 26th build
(2001032608). Tested under Mac OS 9.1.
