Doesn't matter the page, but on various sites with forums / threads composing text has become so difficult I have resorted to using a text editor w/ copy paste. This does seem to be specific to long posts. I am not sure how long they need to be exactly, but it is more than I've written here... problems specifically revolve around selecting text with the mouse. Clicking with mouse to set insertion sites for cursor doesn't result accurate placement. Further, scroll speed is completely out of control if you do get your cursor where you want and try to say select up a line or two you end up zooming a paragraph or three at a time....just unpredictable. Trying to select strings of text is erratic as far as speed and direction of selection. One can work around it with keyboard only editing. Also, noticed in trying to to test edit here that selections can go outside this text field and spill onto the page. And just at this point in writing I am now hitting problems with selection as noted above...so perhaps it is getting longer entry then the size/shape for entry on the page without using the scroll? Sorry to be so imprecise, but it is hard to quantify...but easily repeatbale for several days worth of nightly's. thanks
Mark, I think you will find that most of the issues documented by searching for open bugs with the "NativeTextArea" (as opposed to the "NativeTextField") keyword: http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=NativeTextArea&resolution=--- If there are any specific behaviors that aren't covered there, please file a new bug with specific instructions on how to reproduce them if you can. In the meantime, I'm going to pick one bug that you mentioned in Comment #0 and mark this bug as a duplicate of that. Please note that the Apple team (and some open source developers) are working on these now, so they should be fixed in the next couple of weeks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 7774 ***
