97906 - TEXTAREA with scrollbars does not behave properly to Page up and Page down (PgUp PgDn)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 4302

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Ren Hoek]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    20010801

I was editing a TEXTAREA, that had scrollbars. At the bottom I pushed page up a
few times to edit something at the top, after I was at the top, I wanted to edit
but could not find the carot, so I pushed the up key. Turns out that page up and
down only affected the vertical scrollbar and did not move the cursor up as
would be desirable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter a few lines into a TEXTAREA so you get a vertical scrollbar
2.Position cursor at the bottom
3.Push page up a few times
4.Push a cursor key

Actual Results:  You are back at the original position of the carot.

Expected Results:  It should move the carot a page up or down, and that in
effect should move the vertical scroll bar up or down. Page up and down should
not interact with the vertical scroll bar directly.
