Bug 34164 – QtWebKit issues with "mouse selected" text and focus out behaivor

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: WebKit Qt

This is a bug report against both Qt 4.5.x and 4.6.x with the webkit module. The problem is as follows

1. Have a webpage which contains a "line edit" box.
2. Enter a string that is wider than the visible width of the line edit.
3. Use the mouse to select a mid portion of this string (Make sure the mouse selection stays active)
4. Switch to another program by clicking on a task bar of an open application
5. Notice that you can now see the entire string or portions of the string you entered outside the bounds of the line edit box
6. The text stays until you minimize or cause some other full paint of the webkit area.

How to reproduce simply

1. Launch the demo browser
2. Launch the windows calculator.
3. On the "nokia qt" homepage, enter the following string into the google custom search box in the page near the upper right
4. "THIS IS A REALLY REALLY LONG STRING - WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT"
5. Use your mouse to select the following piece of the stirng "LONG STRING - WHAT CAN"
6. Click on the calculator program in the windows task bar.
7. You should now see the rest of the string overflowing the lineedit in the demo browser.
