using 2001011504 mtrunk win98. mousing over a textarea's scrollbar thumb (*not* a native moz scrollbar widget) causes the cursor to convert from an arrow to an i-bar text cursor. to be more accurate, the cursor changes from an arrow to an i-bar in the area between the outer edge of the textarea box and the outer edge of the scrollbar thumb, then changes back to an arrow at the pixel on the exact edge of the scrollbar thumb, and then changes to an i-bar over the body of the thumb itself. for the scrollbar arrows, in contrast, the cursor is a i-beam text cursor only in the space between the outer edges of the textarea and the scrollbar button(s). functionality remains normal, and the thumb's state change with onclick and drag are fine. ideally, the cursor shouldn't change to a text cursor unless you're within the editable part of the textarea. at the least, a text cursor should not appear over a scrollbar, period. technically this depends on bug 63800 - if a native widget is used for textarea scrollbars, then this won't be a problem. otherwise, this needs to be fixed.

Thanks. Verified.

*** Bug 50799 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Bug 64101 was marked as dup of bug 50799, and bug 50799 was marked as dup of this. This bug should be reopened.

Okay. It's kin's bug I believe.

inheriting all platforms, p3, and future target milestone from 50799.

The test case from bug 61921 showing this problem with textareas may be helpful http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=20153 Proposing for Mozilla0.9 since this generates confusion.

http://stone.undp.org/undpweb/ohr/ohrjbview.cfm?jaf_uid_c=705 Shows an example of this (thrice!).

Shouldn't someone put mostfreq on this?

Added mostfreq. This has at least 10 duplicates if you count the duplicates in the duplicates.

*** Bug 76430 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 81519 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

given the number of dupes, can we get this bug set to a better target milestone than "future"? i nominate for 1.0, at the very least. it's not a beta blocker or anything, but it is clearly an issue.

*** Bug 82154 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 84072 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 84651 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I also would suggest a target milestone in the near future.

Will bug 16928 be fixed by fixing this bug as well?
