797466 - Cursor artifacts in IME related to .com button and backspace, possibly related to scrolling text fields horizontally

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 799644

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect, P3)

Description

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

-- Simplest STR on Otoro device:

 * Open browser app
 * Focus URL bar
 * Repeatedly click the ".com" button

Eventually I get an artifact where the cursor appears twice, like:

  .com.com.com|.com|

It goes away after a few seconds.

-- Alternate, worse behavior (but harder to reproduce): 

 * Type a bunch of letters and sprinkle in the ".com" button occasionally
 * I get situations where the cursor appears many times.  For instance:

   lksjdflksjdf|a|j|i|.com|

-- Alternate alternate behavior

 * Type a bunch of letters.
 * Press and hold backspace to delete a bunch of letters.
 * Immediately start typing again.  (No need to use the .com button.)
 * Again I see many cursors in my input field, like the alternate behavior above.

Chris, who should own this?

This is a pretty ugly polish bug, but I'm not sure it should block, since it does resolve itself after a few seconds.

Thanks for filing; this has been happening for a while but I never got around to it.

Strongly suspected to be the same underlying cause as bug 799644.
