Bug 50736 – Unable to paste in input[type="text"] with last-child selector

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: HTML Editing

The last-child css selector will in some way interfere with paste in Chrome 8,Safari 5 and Chromium.

It is not possible to paste text into a textbox that has existing data in it if the :last-child selector is present on the page.

This works better with Chromium but the problem still exists in some cases. See attachements.

Two input fields to demonstrate that the first field works as expected

It's only the last input field that is affected as you can see from the new attachment but It gets even weirder;

1) Select part of the word Chrome.
2) Paste in first field works. Paste in last field does not work.
3) Select the whole word Chrome by double clicking it.
4) Both first and last field pasting works!

The chromium attachment seems to work as expected in Chromium 10, so it's possible all issues have been fixed.

Confirmed that this bug reproduces on Safari 5 but doesn't reproduce on TOT.

Nit: mentioning a specific Safari version is not useful. All layout tests only reproduce in some previous Safari version. Just because this test was committed after doesn't change what the comment should say.

All I'm saying is s/on Safari 5//.

Ditto

While I'm nitpicking, it would be more readable to do:
var success = (input.value == 'hello world') ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL';
input.parentNode.insertBefore(document.createTextNode(success), input);

Thanks for the review!  Will fix both issues before landing it.
