81483 - Unable to select first letter of url with mouse / home key

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 80048

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Roger Light]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)
BuildID:    2001051704

If the first letter that is typed into the url bar (that is the letter on the 
far left, regardless of whether it is typed at a time point before the other 
letters) is one of a certain letter then pressing the "Home" key or trying to 
select the url by dragging the mouse pointer over the url from right to left 
will leave the caret/end of selection just before the first letter. Double 
clicking the word selects it correctly.

This behaviour manifests itself for the following characters:

bc  fg  jk  no  rs  vw  
23  67

Whitespace included to emphasise the pattern. The same effect occurs for non-
alphanumeric characters, eg. " + but I am not going to try and produce a 
comprehensive list :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type a word into an empty urlbar, starting with a letter from the list in 
the description.
2. Press "Home"


Actual Results:  Caret will not be at far left. If the word typed is "bod", the 
caret will be inbetween the "b" and the "o".

Expected Results:  The caret should move to the far left.
All of the text should be mouse selectable.

Also produced similar results in 2001051504, but I didn't carry out extensive 
tests on it (ie. it didn't work but I don't know for which letters)

Can't duplicate this with 2001-05-16-04 under Win2k-SP1

Erase everything currently on URL bar.
Type 'bod'.
Hit the HOME key.
Everything works fine. Selecting it by draging right2left or left2right works
fine too.
