Bug #: 33078
Summary: Visual Editor: select word with keyboard and overwrite
doesn't work as expected
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: VisualEditor
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Selecting text via the keyboard and overwriting it doesn't work as expected in
Safari 5.1.2 / FF 8.0.1 - Mac OS 10.6.8.
If I double-click a word and overwrite it everything works fine. The same
doesn't happen if I select words via the keyboard.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Move the cursor to the end of the word "Interface" (after the "e") in the
first headline of: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:VisualEditorSandbox
2) Backward-select the word "Interface" character by character using the
shift+left arrow OR select the entire word using option+shift+left arrow
3) Overwrite the selection by retyping the word "Interface"
4) an "e" appears from nowhere resulting in "Ienterface"
5) if you try the same select & overwrite trick with the word "interfaces" in
the second headline of the SandBox an "s" appears ("isnterface")
This suggests that the last character of the selected word gets somehow
inserted after the first character when you overwrite the whole word.
I can show you in 30 sec how to reproduce it if the above description is
confusing.
