RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 82151

Details

In a multiline text box, after enough text has been entered to cause it to start scrolling, the right-arrow key will move from the last character to the first (in the whole box). Whereas, the left-arrow key never moves off the first character. To reproduce: - start a bugzilla bug report - type enough lines to make it scroll - press and hold right-cursor; compare to pressing and holding left-cursor Observed behavior: Right-arrow scrolls back to start, left arrow does not. Expected behavior: Either, make both arrow keys stop at their respective limits (preferred), or else make both arrow keys wrap around to the other end (less preferred). I prefer the first solution because I (want to) use right-arrow to detect where the end of the text I'm typing is.
Forgot; system stats: - Mozilla 0.9.4 - x86/Linux 2.2.19 - gtk 1.2.8 - glibc 2.1.2
