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.
in case it is not clear (as the component seems to be mozilla) this problem only occurs in firefox - not mozilla. Paul
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."
yes - it is also happening for me in gnome..... (i was mistakenly staring mozilla in gnome.) look forward to the update. Paul
Guys - can I download the new rpm from somewhere to test? Paul
seems fixed in the current security release 1.01 Paul
