839440 - Typing a space in a javascript-generated "contenteditable" paragraph sets caret (cursor) position to the begining of the paragraph when the next character is typed.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Keyboards and IME, defect)

Description

[cybergrunge]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130201065344

Steps to reproduce:

I'm developping a web app in which the user types a text in a "contenteditable" paragraph. This paragraph is generated by Javascript (replacing a default textarea for users who don't use Javascript).


Actual results:

When I type a word, then a space, then another word, the word after the space is typed at the beginning of the paragraph.

Here is a test page for you to see the bug on Firefox for Android : http://sniptweet.com/bugFF/


Expected results:

The word typed after the space should logically appear after the space...

Hi cybergrunge,

Can you try again using Firefox Beta available in the Play Store? If that still doesn't work, can you try installing Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org/) and see if that fixes the problem?

Thanks!

Ok, it works with both with Beta and Nightly. Can I be sure it will work the same way in the next FF Android release ?

Yes. Next week, the current Beta will become the next Release.
