* TITLE/SUMMARY Select styled text by keyboard shortcut --> munged selection * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0) Launch Apprunner 1) From the Debug menu, select "#0 Basic Styles" from the Viewer Demos submenu. 2) From the File menu, select "Edit Page". -> Be sure to resize your screen so that you'll need to scroll shortly after reaching the "Text styles" area of the page. 3) Click anywhere in the top of the page (e.g. after the green F in "Font Size") 4) Holding the shift key, hold the down arrow key until you've scrolled to the bottom of the page. * RESULT - What happened The "Text styles" section isn't correctly selected. For the most part, only the left-most few dozen pixels on each line are selected, with the selection stopping immediately before the second character on each line. - What was expected It'll work correctly if: + the window doesn't have to scroll while selecting the text + (or) you drag-select via the mouse, rather than via the keyboard. * REGRESSION - Occurs On Mac OS Apprunner (2.28.00 AM optimized build) - Doesn't Occur On Win32 Apprunner (2.28.00 AM optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 5]) Linux Apprunner (2.28.00 AM optimized build) * CONFIGURATIONS TESTED - [Mac] Beige Power Mac G3 (266 MHz PowerPC 750), 96 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6 - [Win32] Vectra VL (233 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP5. - [Linux] Vectra VL (266 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM.

moving to m17

that text style section workds great now. the first letter frames are still messed up though. bug 29580. marking this one fixed

*SPAM*: Changing the QA contact of all open/resolved Selection bugs from elig@netscape.com to BlakeR1234@aol.com. After the many great years of service Eli has given to Mozilla, it's time for him to move on; he has accepted a position at Eazel. We'll be sad to see him go, and I'll do my best to fill his spot...

this does not seem to work for me on 082908 mozilla mac build on OS9. As soon as the page starts to scroll the entire line stops being selected and only a short piece of the beginning of each line is highlighted.

mac --> patty

changed qa contact to paw -- Paul this had pmac as qa contact, it has been sitting around for quite sometime

future

Some more up to date comments please...

nominating for dogfood (from sdagley's list of bugs that are good candidates for our next release)

This seems to be only a visual problem with the selection as initially drawn. Swicth to another window and back to the edit window and entire lines will show as selected (and appear on the clipboard if you select Copy from the edit menu).

looked at this a bit and talked with marc, the first letter generation is actually 'generated content' and there is a bug about not being able to select generated content (bug 12460), I believe this is related to that issue, but will let Mike make that decision. Is this really nscatfood? It is quite the edge case

adding sdagley to the cc list, as he was the one who nominated this bug for catfood.

sorry, moving computers ate my nscatfood list and this is one that was slated to be demoted. It looks like the selection _is_ actually copied, it just isn't hilited properly.

this must have been fixed with some mac drawing change.
