Description EE CAP Admin 2005-02-17 22:59:13 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041115

Description of problem:
The left and right cursor keys do not bahave as expected in firefox, i.e. they do not move the cursor by only one space - sometimes they move it 1 space, sometimes many more.

This does not appear to happen in gnome

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-1.0-12.EL4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.loging to EL4 kde
2.start firefix
3.go to http://www.google.co.uk and click in the address bar
4.use the cursor keys and see the wacky behabiour.
  

Actual Results:  cursr moves by more than 1 character

Expected Results:  cursor keys move cursor by 1 character

Additional info:

seems that the problem does not occur under gnome.

until this is fixed I seem to be forced back to mozilla.  What a shame.

Comment 1 EE CAP Admin 2005-02-17 23:00:55 UTC

in case it is not clear (as the component seems to be mozilla) this problem only
occurs in firefox - not mozilla.

I was seeing this problem as well (but in GNOME) and as best as I can tell,
updating to firefox-1.0-13.EL4 resolves this problem.  That version is currently
in testing for release in a future update, so I'm throwing this in "modified."

Comment 3 EE CAP Admin 2005-02-18 12:14:48 UTC

yes - it is also happening for me in gnome..... (i was mistakenly staring
mozilla in gnome.)

look forward to the update.

Guys - can I download the new rpm from somewhere to test?

Comment 6 EE CAP Admin 2005-03-03 13:12:27 UTC
