Text form field not redrawn upon HOME/END keypress with some CSS styles

[Erik Meitner]

This depends upon certain CSS styles being applied to the INPUT form element.

1. Go to http://rt.easter-eggs.org/demos/testing/
2. enter some text in the user name field
3. Press HOME on the keyboard.
4. Notice that the text(and background color) has been removed and not redrawn
5. Moving the cursor or selecting the text will cause it to be redrawn

Other forms on that site also exhibit this behavor.

I have also observed other page elements getting erased while moving around the page with the tab key.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once in a terminal:

apport-collect 1206981

and then change the status of the bug back to "New".

Please add any additional information that you think might be relevant. Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the bug report. If we do not hear from you this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again
Paul White
