I Steps: 1. Go to http://mybrute.com/ 2. Write something in the "Already signed up?" field 3. select the text with your mouse, that you just wrote, and press Delete/backspace or write something. II Issue: It only deletes the last letter if you press backspace, and the text isn't selected any more. It doesn't do anything if you press Delete, and the text isn't selected any more. If you type a letter, a number or the spacebar it just stands after the text you did mouseover, and the text isn't selected any more. III Conclusion: code for quick reference : <BODY> <FORM action=/go method=post> Type something into textbox and select all of the text. Now hit backspace key. Only last letter gets deleted everytime you hit backspace insteasd of whole text (in Safari/Chrome) <br/> <INPUT onkeydown=js.App.normalize(this); onkeyup=js.App.normalize(this); name=name> </FORM> </BODY> Issue in function : js.App.normalize = function(i) { i.value = new EReg("[^A-Za-z0-9 #.!*$()_/,+:;\\'<>@\"^&=?[~`%\\]-]","g").split(i.value).join(""); } IV Other Browsers: IE7: ok FF3: ok V Nightly tested: 43092 Bug in Chromium : http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10635

Looking at the source code it's not clear why this would clear the text field, the 'normalize' method seems to sanitize the value. FireFox also does not clear it. I can't see a bug here.

The bug still exists on this page in Safari 5.1, while Firefox works correctly. Could be a real bug, or just the site sending broken JavaScript to Safari. It certainly sends different content to different browsers, but I couldn't quickly determine if that's the cause, because Firefox version is hugely broken in Safari, and may not even execute the problematic scripts.

Sorry, I missed a step in my testing. I wasn't highlighting the text, thought the deleting-all-text was an expected behavior of the onkeydown handler. My bad.
