Bug 9592 – REGRESSION: Can't navigate caret to the beginning of next line in a textarea

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Forms

[Chris Petersen]

* SUMMARY
With a textarea that is pre-populated with text, I can't place the caret to the beginning of the next line

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open test case "textarea_sample.html" in a TOT webkit nightly build
2. Place the caret at the beginning of word "Banana" in the textarea sample 1
3. Press the down arrow key which should place the caret in the next line below "Banana" However, the caret is actually placed at the END of the word "Banana" (wrong)

Another example is to place the caret at the end of "Street Address" in textarea sample. Then press ctrl - left arrow keys. This should place the caret at the BEGINNING of this line "Street Address". But instead, the caret appears at the end of the above line "Full Name".


* RESULTS
Caret should appear at the beginning of the next or current line but doesn't.

* REGRESSION
Yes, this is working in 10.4.6 and looks like a regression with the new native textarea fields.
