Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 59909

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[James McCoy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010914
BuildID:    2001091406

On the page, http://wwwpa.win.tue.nl/misc/yahtzee/ypt.php3, there are input
fields on the bottom of the page that display javascript generated dice rolls.
When you press the 'roll' button the first time, all the numbers appear. If you
press it again, any number that is held or stays the same between rolls will
stay visible. All other fields now show no number.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://wwwpa.win.tue.nl/misc/yahtzee/ypt.php3
2.Scroll to bottom of page and press roll.
3.Check one or two numbers and press roll again.

Actual Results:  Any field whose number changed no longer has a visible number.
If the number didn't change, then it is still visible.

Expected Results:  Each field should contain a visible number.

This works in Netscape 4.77 for Linux. I'm running RedHat 7.1.

Over to HTML form controls.  I see this on Linux current builds as well.

This is also a duplicate, but I can't find the original.

Found it!  Duplicate of "Value doesn't redraw in <INPUT type=text> if it has
exact width of element"
