Summary Shift + PageDown doesn't select text in Gmail compose window

Reported 2008-10-29 13:47:43 PDT
Originated from the Chromium bug tracker, see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3159 If I go to a message and select New Windows from the options on the top right I get a new window and select with shift-pageup/pagedown no longer works. Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 3: Firefox 3: OK IE 7: OK What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open GMail 2. Select a message 3. Click the New Window link to the right of the message display 4. Click Reply 5. Copy in a large amount of text 6. Use Shift+Ctrl+PgDown to attempt to select all of the text When composing a Gmail message (in Chrome/Windows), Shift + Page-Down doesn't select text (neither does Shift + Page-Up). Shift + DownArrow or UpArrow does select text. IE and Firefox allow the Shift + PageDown method to select text. What is the expected result? Text should be selected. What happens instead? No text is selected.

this bug only occurs for rich-text content. if the content is plain text, the content is correctly selected.

FWIW, I cannot reproduce this in Mac Safari 4.0.3. > 6. Use Shift+Ctrl+PgDown to attempt to select all of the text The rest of bug description doesn't mention Ctrl.

AFAIK it's a PC-only bug. I can reproduce it on PC Safari.
