Description Kevin Ballard 2008-03-21 15:04:06 PDT
In WordPress 2.3.3 with the visual editor turned off, clicking in the main text area causes weird behavior including the following: selection moved back to start of text area, text area deselected, text area selected but painting as if deselected, and keypresses or clicks ignored. This behavior continues until you select a range of text and start typing, at which point it seems to behave like a normal textarea again.

Editing the wp-admin.css file to comment out the following rule:

#postdivrich #content, #postdivrich #content:active {
	border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

seems to make this behavior stop. However, using that rule in a simple test page does not trigger this behavior.

This is a regression, as Safari 3.1 and earlier nightly builds with Safari 3.0 did not exhibit this behavior.

looks like this broke somewhere between 31071 and 31093.  I'll try to narrow it down more.

between 31078 and 31081...

http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/31080 is editing related, and
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/31081 is text control related.  Could be either...

I've confirmed its r31081.
Comment 8 Adele Peterson 2008-04-01 11:21:22 PDT
hmm- i should've started on a reduction sooner.  The test case no longer works.

I have a setup of Wordpress 2.3.3 now, but I still can't reproduce.  We may have to close this one out.

So why it isn't still closed?
