Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 82151

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P4)

Description

[Paul Mischler]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

If I enter text into a single-line text box on a web page, and press the right
arrow, the cursor will loop to the beginning of the text box (cursor is left of
the first character in the textbox.)

This is not true for all text boxes, just some.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.slashdot.org/  Go to search box at the bottom of the page.
2.  type in some text into the search box.
3.  Press the right arrow key.  See the cursor move to the start of the line.

Actual Results:  The cursor moves to the left end of the text box.

Expected Results:  Cursor should remain at the right end of the text box.

Duplicated errors on Linux build 2001080221


Code for a text box that fails (slashdot):
<input type=name name=query value="" width=20 size=20 length=20>

Code for another box that fails (fruhead.com):
<input type=text size=25 maxlength=160 name=message>

Code for a text box that doesn't fail (google):
<input type=text value="" framewidth=4 name=q size=55 maxlength=256>

Code for another text box that doesn't fail:
<input type=text size=20 maxlength=160 name=message>

looks related to bug 82151

I am not sure it this is a duplicate because that bug reports the same problem
with TEXTAREAS, and this is problem with INPUTs that have size attribute set.
Confirming.

I am unable to reproduce this using the trunk build from 8/8 on win98, are you
still seeing this?

[rubydoo123]

i suspect this is a dup of 93399, assigning to kin to make that call

I can't seem to reproduce the problem on slashdot.org or with your samples 
above.

Paul, you still seeing the problem?

Btw, this bug should really go to [e-mail] who owns caret/selection 
navigation.

I just checked with Mozilla 0.9.4 on Windows 98 SE and Redhat Linux 7.1.  The 
scrolling caret problem is still there. (Build: 20010913)

all of these things use the same code, so there's no need for more than one bug about this one problem.
