Description pano_90 2010-02-05 06:19:47 PST
It's an very strange bug. It only happens in the bottom input field of Google's
search result page, the upper one is normal. When you select a piece of text by
mouse from right to left (selection from left to right is normal), if your
cursor is beyond the input tab while you are still holding your left button,
the selection would be cancelled.

I can confirm this with Qt 4.6.1 in rekonq and arora

Please follow the QtWebKit bug reporting guidelines when reporting bugs.

See http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs

Specifically:

  - The 'QtWebKit' component should only be used for bugs/features in the
    public QtWebKit API layer, not to signify that the bug is specific to
    the Qt port of WebKit

      http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs#Component

  - Add the keyword 'Qt' to signal that it's a Qt-related bug

Confirmed with the trunk (with QtLauncher).

The bug is valid for the upper input too, but only if a mouse pointer goes to results level)
Comment 3 Jędrzej Nowacki 2010-03-16 05:02:08 PDT
Actually, I can confirm it on GTK port too (with GtkLauncher). 

I'm removing Qt keyword and resetting "assigned" to field
Comment 4 Jędrzej Nowacki 2010-03-16 06:03:49 PDT
After discussion, we decided to put both Qt and Gtk keywords.
Comment 5 Simon Hausmann 2010-05-06 05:37:31 PDT
Since it's confirmed this bug should have the triaged keyword set.
Comment 6 Robert Hogan 2010-07-13 13:08:45 PDT
I can't reproduce this.
Comment 7 Jędrzej Nowacki 2010-07-14 01:49:27 PDT
I can't reproduce it any more.
