New issue 9856 by stueeross: Text alignment reverses when highlighting with
key combo. Curious but very annoying! ;-)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9856
Chrome Version : 2.0.172.2
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4:
Firefox 3.x: OK
IE 7: OK
IE 8: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Press the RIGHT CTRL+SHIFT keys simultaneously
2. Press the LEFT CTRL+SHIFT keys simultaneously to rectify
What is the expected result?
Text entry as normal, left-to-right. CTRL+SHIFT (plus an arrow key) should
allow highlighting of whole words for editing functions such as
Cut/Copy/Delete
What happens instead?
All text in the box becomes right-aligned and further text entered comes
from the right - but all the right way round (i.e. it doesn't reverse the
direction of the text, just the alignment).
Oddly, punctuation marks of any kind always still appear on the left end
(before the beginning of the current line of text) UNLESS (until) followed
by an alphanumeric character, in which case it conforms to expected placing.
Pressing the LEFT CTRL+SHIFT keys resolves the issue, switching back to
left-aligned.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Hopefully this isn't expected behaviour or a 'feature' as I use this key
combo all the time to quickly highlight portions of text for copying,
deletion, etc.!
