Description of problem: When entering text in formular fields (e.g. like bugzilla comments), the cursor can not be moved with cursor keys. With previous version (1.5.0.9-1), it worked fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5.0.9-2.fc6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. write some text in the bugzilla textbox 2. press cursor-left key Actual results: Cursor does not move, but new characters will be written at the correct position Expected results: Cursor moves one char back
Same here and I have to say it is very annoying (please increase Severity for this one). Visual caret does not reflect actual caret position except when at begining/end. All HTML text input elements have this problem along with other TextUI Elements such as Address-Bar/Search/Googlebar-SearchBox. Additionally found that Thunderbird has same problem. I haven't checked if Bugzilla entry for Thunderbird exists. However it is not Firefox bug only, but bug in one or more of shared dependecies. Best regards, Mario
Is this pango enabled or disabled?
My enviroment was pango disabled. With pango enabled (it is default) now it works fine. Solution: - check enviroment for "MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1". - locate how MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 is set (mine was in profile.d/mozilla.sh) and comment it out - unset MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO - restarted firefox
