When writing plain text emails with long lines that get wrapped and moving around with the cursor, inserting and deleting some words then after a short time the cursor movement with the arrow keys does not behave as expected: - left does not move - right jumps to next line - up/down works - home/end works On the first unwrapped line the left/right cursor movement works on the following wrapped lines it does not until you hit the return key to start a new paragraph. This also happens with wrapped lines in this HTML form textarea and it also happens with the HTML mail message editor. I'v only seen this bug on the Solaris build with pre-compiled binaries and with binaries build by myself from source Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open message composition window 2. Start writing text until it gets wrapped around and write some more lines 3. Try moving left/right up/down with the arrow keys on the Actual Results: Cursor left does not move, cursor right jumps to new line Expected Results: Moving one character left or one character right.
Works perfectly fine for me on Solaris 8/9. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030611 Can you try a cvs build (1.5a mozilla) ?

I downloaded the Solaris 2.7 nightly build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ mozilla-sparc-sun-solaris2.7.tar.gz 04-Jul-2003 03:35 17.1M The problem still exists. But it's not always the same anyway. Sometimes the cursor left does not move back, sometimes it jumps to the begin of the paragraph, sometimes to the previous line, then for a fragment of the wrapped paragraph it works. One common thing: it always behaves oddly when the lines get wrapped automatically. When terminating each line with a carriage return it works as in every other editor. The problem occurs with - Browsers: Mozilla 1.3, 1.4a, 1.4rc1, 1.4, nightly build, Netscape 7.0 (plain text message editor and HTML textarea forms) - OS: Solaris 8, Solaris 9 - Window Managers: CDE 1.4, CDE 1.5, twm, GNOME, fvmwm95

I can confirm that i have the same problem with my Forte 7 builds of Mozilla 1.3.1 and 1.4 when using gtk 1.2.10 (Forte compiled) and compiling with Forte 7. The problem does'nt happen on gtk2 (gtk2.2.2 - Forte compiled) builds of Mozilla 1.3.1 or Mozilla 1.4 when using the GNOME 2 environment. Looks like a general gtk 1.2.10 bug rather then a composer specific issue.

When checking previous Mozilla bug i've noticed this one has already been logged a while back. This bug is a duplicate of Bug #208765

This appears to be a duplicate of the old (Nov last year) bug - http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178735 Though the comment here about it maybe being a gtk 1.2 issue is rather interesting. Does anyone have a Forte gtk 2.2 build to try? Or does anyone know how to build a gcc optimised Solaris build (last time I tried, it failed badly, so someones about:buildconfig would be ace).

This seems to be the problem discussed under bug id 188288 where a connection to CTL is made. Apparently, when built with --enable-ctl the bug has appeared for a long time --- already in mozilla 1.4 and possibly before that, still in mozilla 1.5 and 1.6. Hope this helps, Nils.

(In reply to comment #4) > When checking previous Mozilla bug i've noticed this one has already been > logged a while back. > This bug is a duplicate of Bug #208765 given that two people commented about the matching bug(s), this should have been fixed in bug 188288
