92924 - Crash when deleting text in a text box

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 68488

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P2)

Description

[Cormac F]

You need to have a mobile number in Ireland to find this one the way I did (its
a free SMS service), but I filed two talkback incidents on it:
They are:

TB33550693X
TB33550526Z

I'll give the steps to reproduce anyway, in case anyone can confirm:

1.Go to the above address.Enter your mobile number and password 
in the text box in the right hand column.

2.Begin to enter text in the message text box, until the horizontal bar appears.

3. Press the backspace key to start deleting the text. The browser will crash

This, so far, has been always reproducible.
I'm using build 2001073003 on WinNT

Asa, could you retreive those talkbacks?

Further note: This crash occurs more generally when typing in the textbox on
this page (not just when deleting text). Also, a script is running which
decrements a number in a different text field as the amount of allowable
characters in the SMS is used up. Although it returns no errors in the
javascript console, it does seem to mess about with the position of the caret
occasionally, and could be related. In fact, it seems to sometimes cause two
carets to appear and the focus to be continuously returned to the text field (so
that I had to keep clicking on the javascript console button in explorer to
return focus to that window)

Unfortunately, I can't upload files over the college proxy, but I could email
the page in question to whoever is dealing with this?

Not much to go on here, but it sounds like an editor issue

I'll take this one. Cormac thanks for reporting this. If possible, could you 
email the page with the textarea to [e-mail] ?

Thanks!

kin - I've suddenly been given permissions to upload files for some reason, so
I've created an attachment rather than email it. 
Sorry for the spam and all that...
