Hello,
Many of you have reported crashes and other problems with editing the
textareas and text inputs used for forms.
This functionality has been rewritten. Please test the latest build:
http://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/
What's changed?
---------------
The INPUT element type TEXT (as used for a search box)
The INPUT element type PASSWORD (as used for login)
The TEXTAREA element (as used for composing forum posts or e-mails)
What do you want me to do?
--------------------------
Please test it and check it works. Is its behaviour as you'd expect?
What's its current status?
--------------------------
Old functionality currently missing:
- Doesn't support shift+left/right to move caret word-by-word.
- Doesn't support selection adjustment (altering an existing
selection.)
Quirks:
- When you select text in a textarea, any text selections elsewhere
in the window don't get cleared.
- When you scroll a textarea, the caret can move outside the textarea.
New features:
- The textarea is auto scrolled as you drag a selection.
Cheers,
Michael
