New issue 20029 by [email protected]: WebKit cursor positioning on click in textarea inconsistent with Firefox and GTK+ http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20029 Chrome Version: 4.0.202.2-r23795 OS + version: Ubuntu Jaunty CPU architecture: 64-bit window manager: ion3 URLs (if applicable): http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): as expected Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): unknown What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Delete all of the text in the textarea on the left side of the example URL. 2. Bang on the keyboard a bit until you have a half-line of text. The cursor should be positioned at the end of the typed text. 3. Now move the pointer down and to the left, so that its X position is in the middle of the typed text and its Y position is below it. 4. Left-click. What is the expected result? The cursor should be at the closest possible position to the spot where I clicked (in this case, it should stay at the end of the line), as is done in Firefox 3.0 and gedit. What happens instead? The cursor jumps up to the middle of the typed text (directly above the pointer). Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. This is possibly not Linux-only, although I don't know if the expected behavior is the same on other platforms. This is especially annoying when middle-clicking to try to paste the PRIMARY selection at the end of the line -- the cursor gets moved in the same way and the pasted text ends up in the middle of the line. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
