84027 - arrow keys don't work in URL bar after starting mozilla

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83919

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Mike Burke]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010603
BuildID:    2001060308

Immediately after starting Mozilla, I click on the URL bar and try to use arrow
keys/home/end/etc but they have no response; typing works, as does backspacing,
as does mouse movement. Happens if start page is set to blank or to an actual
page. Seems similar to bug 83109.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla
2. Click on URL bar
3. Type something if it's blank
4. Press arrow keys, home, end


Actual Results:  The cursor stayed at the same place.


Expected Results:  The cursor moves left, right, to the beginning of the line,
to the end of the line, as you command.


This was happening to me a few hours ago, but I had to shut my computer off due
to electricity problems. When I turned it on again, I opened Mozilla and this
bug didn't show itself. I closed it and reopened it, and it has been happening
since. It also seems to happen when opening a new navigator window.

Hmm, seems it happens in a text entry field on a page if that is the default
cursor position, too. Here's a search I did on Google that has no matches, and
sets the default cursor position inside the search terms box:

Confirming on 2001060409 on Win2K.

I'm noticing this too on textfields in Bookmark Properties and New
Folder/Bookmark dialogs.

Changing component to XP Toolkit/Widgets.  Feel free to change it again if I'm
wrong.

These bugs all seem related: bug 84027, bug 83109, bug 83919, and bug 83626.

Same as bug 83919 which has a nice stacktrace of assertion as well as an easy
set of steps-to-reproduce
