Apprunner, Mac. URL bar issues:
1. Type a URL. You have to hit return twice before it loads
2. Cannot copy & paste in URL bar
3. URL bar does not update to show URL of current page.
Assignee: don → radha
Component: Apprunner → XPApps
OS: Mac System 8.5 → All
Priority: P3 → P2
Hardware: Macintosh → All
Summary: Various URL bar problems → Cannot copy & paste in URL bar
Target Milestone: M5
Re-assinged to radha@netscape.com, set target milestone to M5, changed component
to XPApps, priority to P2, platform and OS to All, and changed summary line.
Radha, copy and paste actually work on Windows via the keyboard equivalents
only, i.e. the menu commands are not hooked up.
----------
Simon,
1. Type a URL. You have to hit return twice before it loads -- this is a
duplicate of bug #4544 that Radha is working on now.
3. URL bar does not update to show URL of current page. -- this is a duplicate
of bugs #4054 and #4071.

BTW, copy and paste actually work on Windows and Linux after a fashion. The
menu commands don't work, but the keyboard equivalents work on Windows and the
middle button mouse shortcut works on Linux.

There is more work to this than hooking up menu items. First, the cut & paste
features are not there. There is some code for copy. To cut,copy & paste in the
right way, we need to figure who has the focus and the last drag, the content
area or url bar or a text field inside content area etc... Based on who had the
last mouse drag, the appropriate hooking up to either nsIPresShell or the text
widget needs to be done. Once all this is done, the menu options should be
hooked. I don't see all this happening in the near future. Moving to M10.
cc'ing mcafee for more input.

Radha, are there some known "feature" bugs by toolkit folks that this should be
dependent upon?
Comment 16•25 years ago
|
||
depends on 12022.
Comment 17•25 years ago

The deal is, For the content area only the copy operation is permitted. For the
urlbar and any text form element, cut, copy and paste are allowed. Which
explains why presentation shell has only copy operation. For the urlbar I
believe we will go thro' ender once the gfx switch is flipped. What about the
form elements. Can some one answer?
Browser needs to know when something is selected. So that it can decide whether
to enable only the copy menuitem (if selection is in the content area) or cut
copy and paste menu items if the selection is in a text field. How can I get
that info?

This depends on the gfx text widget's clipboard APIs it is not sure at this time
if those are in place.
Comment 21•25 years ago
|
||
you can find out if something is selected in the URL bar (or any gfx text
control) by adding a listener on the onSelect notification from the gfx text
control.
Comment 22•25 years ago

I get notifications on select event. But I need a way to get to the text widget
from DOMNode. I think there is already a bug against buster for that.

buster: why is this dependent on 20471? I don't see that bug mentioned here.
Marking dependant on saari's focus bug, 14026.
Comment 35•25 years ago
|
||
This bug is not strictly dependent on 20471, in the sense that no progress can
be made on this bug until 20471 is fixed. However, the fix for this bug won't
work right from the user's perspective until 20471 is also fixed. They can be
fixed in parallel.
As you fix this bug, you'll want to test it. So you'll make edits to the URL
bar, but the commands won't be updated automatically as they should. Instead,
you'll have to point focus elsewhere (like the tree control in the sidebar, for
example), then back to the URL bar to get the URL bar to update it's commands.
QA would have a hard time marking this bug verified until 20471 is fixed,
because commands won't be enabled/disabled at the expected times.

This definitely works using the 2.17.00 build.
After checking this bug (and nearly all bugs marked as duplicate of this bug) on
all 3 primary platforms, I'm Verifying.
There are several side-issues:
* You can copy via keyboard shortcut when the menu item is disabled
* If you paste text on Windows into a text field until you exceed the right
(or bottom) edge of the text field, the text field won't scroll to display the
text you're entering. Of course, if you exceed the edge through typing, it will.
Will see if bugs exist for both of these, and if not, will submit them.

Verified fixed.
- first side-issue noted by trudelle to be an existing bug; bug number
unknown.
- second side-issue now contained in bug #28317.
