Description Claudio Saavedra 2012-09-05 05:40:12 PDT
This happens with the 1.9.91 release and Epiphany 3.5.91.1.

- Copy some text into the clipboard.
- Go to facebook.com (assuming you have an account).
- In the "What's on your mind?" box, click with the secondary mouse button to get the context-sensitive menu.
- Paste

The result is that the text pasted doesn't overwrite the grayed and existing "What's on your mind?" text but gets written after it. Also, the whole text remains grayed. Trying to post the entered text does nothing, so I my very uninformed guess is that what's happening is that Facebook probably listens to some kind of "focus-in" signal and we're not emitting it in this case.

Twitter has a similar box, but that one works as expected.

I cannot reproduce this. Instead of the prompt text remaining, I see the pasted text. It originally disappears when I open the context menu. Does opening the context menu cause the prompt text to disappear for you?

I am unable to reproduce this anymore. I wonder whether this was a slip in the Facebook side?

I guess we should close this for now. Feel free to re-open this if you see it again.

And it's back.. just tried this again and I could reproduce it. The context menu doesn't cause the prompt text to disappear, but getting rid of it (through Esc or clicking anywhere in the view) causes the cursor to go inside the text box and the prompt to disappear.

Do you mind confirming that you still see this?
