Discovered on OpenVMS but also occurs on my Linux system. M0.9.8. Go to a page where there is an input type=file box (such as "create a new attachment" for any bug). Click on the browse button and select a file. Click inside the text box which now contains the selected file name. Try using the left and right arrow keys; they don't work. They should. Click outside the text box and then click back inside the text box again. Now the arrow keys do work.

reassiging

I thought I reassigned but I guess I didn't. Trying again.

Very strange this used to work. I am assuming this is an editor bug. Here is the code right after it gets back from the file dialog: nsAutoString pathName(nativePath); mTextFrame->SetProperty(mPresContext, nsHTMLAtoms::value, pathName); nsMemory::Free(nativePath);

Marking nsbeta1-. Usage case is somewhat rare. file uploads are not commonly used and this bug only occurs if the user brings up the browse dialog then decides to edit the text field using the backarrow. Using backspace works.

fwiw, I just came to Bugzilla to report finding this bug.

This bug worksforme, on all the testcases here and in the dups.... Marking worksforme, but please reopen if this is still an issue (and attach a testcase).
