Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
lsb_release -d => Ubuntu 8.04.1 KDE 3.5.9 Firefox 3.0 If I'm entering a bug report (this problem may include any text entry field) on a web page and I wish to select part of the URL in the address bar, the selection can sometimes miss the last character. Steps to reproduce (I know this works) Create a bug report. Find another problem requiring another bug report. You wan t to select "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+filebug"; from right to left, but already have the first two lines of this bug report selected. I've tried selecting the text with the mouse and keyboard, top to bottom and bottom to top - it happens 3 out of four times. Carefully position your mouse cursor at the end of the last character of the text you wish to select. If you leave the mouse at the end of the text you want to select after clicking the primary (in my case left) mouse button, the selection works as expected. If you click and drag without waiting, it misses the last character. Additional information: I don't have the fonts set so small that I could miss a "g". The problem is real. I'm pretty fast with a mouse, so you might think that I started moving the mouse before I clicked. If that were the case I would expect the selection to be wrong to varying degrees - not always one character. When I used Fedora I maintained my Smolt database entry http://www.smolts.org/client/show/?uuid=pub_97175f49-87f6-40f4-bf70-98cee3851809 I don't know if there is an equivalent in the Ubuntu world. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox selecting text in address bar off by one character https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250373 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
