From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020314 Description of problem: Often when I am typing into textareas of web pages (Hey! Like this Bugzilla form...) I wish to scroll to the end of the textarea. I can use the down arrow to get to the bottom, and usually Right arrow or CTRL-Right arrow to scroll to the end of the line. Unfortunately, the right arrow or CTRL-Right arrow will scroll right through the end of the textbox and back to the beginning. To my knowledge no other popular web browsers behave this way. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Skipjack beta1 with up2date (3-27-2002) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type text into a textarea. Fill it enough so that a vertical scroll bar occurs. 2. Hold down right or CTRL-right and be annoyed at a browser behavior that doesn't exist in other browsers. Actual Results: Scrolls through end and back to beginning of textarea. Expected Results: It should simply stop at the end of the textarea. Additional info: It will only scroll through the end if there is a vertical scrollbar in that text area.
Created attachment 53785 [details] patch from upstream against mozilla-0.9.9-7.src.rpm that fixes most (but not all) of this problem
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82151 I manually merged the last patch here against the latest mozilla-0.9.9-7.src.rpm from Rawhide. It seems to mostly fix the "right arrow scrolling back to beginning of textarea" bug with one exception. If you scroll all the way down with the down arrow so that the cursor jumps beyond the final character, the right key makes the cursor jump to the beginning of that line. I'm talking with the submitter of the original patch to hopefully find a solution to this.
I was unable to find the other patch that fixes the additional bug introduced by my patch above where right arrow key goes to beginning of line in a certain conditions. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82151 However, this bug is completely fixed in currently Mozilla trunk (but not Mozilla 1.0.0 rc1).
Bug still exists in Red Hat 7.3.
Appears fixed in Limbo2.
