Details

DESCRIPTION: Textareas don't follow the cursor when the cursor is moved by pressing the "Enter" key at the end of the textarea. When another key is hit that types something, the textarea scrolls to the right place. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1) Load this page in apprunner 2) Go to the textarea 3) Hit enter 8 times 4) Hit space ACTUAL RESULTS: * after 3, the vertical scrollbar appears when it should and sizes correctly, but the cursor moves off the screen when it does * after 4, the textarea suddenly scrolls down to the bottom, where it should have been the whole time EXPECTED RESULTS: * the cursor should always have been in view during step 3. The position of the scrollbar should not have changed in step 4. DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON: * Linux, apprunner, 1999-10-19-08-M11
Actually, the form on this page won't suffice. You have to use a new-bug template from Bugzilla (which has entities in it - see bug 16813). If you do it on this page, it works if you put a character before you start hitting enter, but if you don't, all the blank space at the beginning disappears once you type a character.
