Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Trebbien]

Attachment: Test case

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the attached test case in Firefox 15.0+. Alternatively, create an HTML file with the following contents and open in Firefox 15.0+:

   <input type="text" name="test" spellcheck="true">

2. Enter the word "test" into the text input.

3. Using the mouse, select all text and press the Delete or Backspace key. Alternatively, double left click on the word "test" and press the Delete or Backspace key.
   NOTE: You will not see the issue if you select the text with ⌘A or Ctrl+A.

4. Notice that the text caret is now at the far right like the attached screenshot.


This issue seems to have been introduced with Firefox 15.0 because Firefox 14.0.1 is not affected.


Tested versions of Firefox - issue present:

Firefox 16.0.1 on Mac OS X and Windows 7 - yes
Firefox 15.0 on Windows 7 - yes
Firefox 14.0.1 on Windows 7 - no
Firefox ESR 10.0.9 on Windows 7 - no

Will be fixed in FF17, and not critical - no need to track.
