Clicking below the last line of text in a text entrybox should position the caret at the end of the last line. To reproduce: 1. Click in the "additional comments" box of the bug form 2. Write a line of text, no return. 3. Move caret to beginning of line 4. Click below the line Actual result: the caret moves to position right above where you clicked Expected result: caret should move to end of line (behavior on 4.x) This happens in HTML text boxes, the mailnews compose window, the composer, etc. Linux 2000.01.08.08

Right now it works as expected for Windows, but Mac and Linux behavior is to put the caret at the end of the line. changing component to Editor, reassigning.

reassign back to Mike. Mike--this bug is fixed on Mac. The comments here are for Linux and Windows users. Perhaps this part of the pref code shouldn't be a preference or maybe we should enable for all platforms?

i checked a few applications on linux and the caret ends up right ABOVE where you clicked just like on windows. the applications were netscape 4.6 and some notepad application. my thinking is that perhaps on linux this is not a stardardized thing. can someone point me to some guidelines to tell me one way or the other? Its a simple default preference to change but I will not till i get some more proof. I will resolve this as WORKSFORME to get peoples attention. If no one reopens this then let it RIP.

The main reason I reported this bug is because NS 4.7 on Linux DOES place the caret at the end of the line. Plain X apps also place it at EOL (xedit, xclipboard), as does emacs and StarOffice. Gnome and KDE apps, on the other hand, don't.
verified in 2/10 build....zach, if not fixed for you please reopen...

It's not "fixed for me" in the sense that I personally would prefer the caret to move to the end of the line--which it doesn't on my 2000.2.10.15 build. But if you guys want that to be the standard behavior, then that's fine with me.
