Mathieu Marquer (slasher-fun) wrote : Strange behavior when pasting a text in a text box with mouse cursor on the edge of the text box

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Bug spotted on http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3218492#p3218492 , affects at least Firefox 3.5.7, Firefox 3.6RC2, on at least GNU/Linux and MS Windows. I can confirm it affects myself too.

Steps to reproduce :
* Copy any text you want
* Find a webpage with a text box, for example google.com search field
* Put the mouse cursor on the edge of the field (important step)
* Press Ctrl + left click + V
--> Two behaviors observed:
* The text will be pasted, but outside the text box
* The text box will disappear
