REGRESSION: In Gmail, text in the message body field shifts when focus in placed in Subject or TO: fields

• Component: Forms
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Chris Petersen]

With gmail, text that I typed in the message body (textarea) actually shifts down to near the bottom of this field when I place the caret in the To: or Subject: fields.
This occurs with r16447 so I need to see if I can find where this regression first occured.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Under 10.4.7, launch TOT Webkit NB (r16647)
2) Go to Gmail and signin
3) Create a new message
4) Type in a email recipient in the To: field
5) Click in the message textarea field and type "test"
6) Now, click in either To: or Subject: field to remove from message field
7) Notice the text typed in the message body field "shifts" to the bottom of this field.

Changing to P1 because it was a regression. However, I cannot reproduce in TOT. Chris, could you please check if this is fixed? (I think changing text areas into blocks instead of flexible boxes is what fixed it).

Radar shows this as being fixed as of November 2006.
