From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913 BuildID: 2001091303 Attempts to go to end of text using left arrow at end of text will move cursor to start of text box rather than stop at last character. Right arrow at start of text stops correctly. up and down arrows correctly stop at first/last line. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On any site with a text box, fill the text box with any text. 2. Move cursor to end of text. 3. Use left arrow key. Actual Results: Cursor is now at start of text. Expected Results: Stop at insert point after last character. In some cases, even mouse clicking past end of text in the text box won't work, usually when blank space exists in the text box beyond the end of text. The clicks do nothing. Clicking on last charcter properly places the cursor there, but it's customary that clicking past end of text places the cursor at end of text. Mozilla also crashed once when trying to go to end of text using the mouse. A Talkback crash log was sent at about 2:30pm PDT, 13 Oct 2001, ID lost.

I saw this too the other night. Drove me mad. And it doesn't wrap BACK if you go in reverse, so it's kinda not so nice when trying to keyboard-navigate long lines.

Works for me on Mozilla 0.9.5 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux RH6.2 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012

WFM, build 2001-10-13-08 (trunk) on Windows 98 SE. Reporter, can you repeat this with a newer build?

This bug also features in: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011013 This bug always happens if you place enough text in the textarea box for the vertical scroll bar to appear. Another very similar bug happens if you place the cursor at the end of a textarea box (with text in it), hit the down arrow then the right arrow. This causes the cursor to move to the second character on the current line. For best effect, try this in a textarea box with more than 3 lines of text in it.
