Description hellmade 2003-12-11 00:28:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

With a form I'm using a rather large multiline-edit (textarea) to view some text. When I try the search-function from the menue text within the textarea-field will be found but not shown since it won't scroll into view. I'm using:

<textarea name="wert" cols="120" rows="25" wrap="off" style="width:740px;max-height=150px">
default
</textarea>

to code the field but I also tried different options. It would be nice if the text would simply be selected.

I'm unable to reliably reproduce this bug. It seems that in RC1 search doesn't go into textareas anymore, which is how other browsers behave.

Also can't reproduce that the text view is not scrolling with KDE 3.2.

Comment 5 Sashmit Bhaduri 2004-04-01 00:05:00 UTC

can't either..

Comment 6 Vedran Ljubovic 2004-09-21 20:58:02 UTC

Using 3.3.0.
It doesn't happen with textarea anymore, but it happens with textboxes! Try to search for "when" on this (bugzilla) page. It will have one match too many and that will by in the form below, in "Summary".

Comment 7 Vedran Ljubovic 2005-02-14 12:57:00 UTC

Bug is still valid on 3.4 beta2

Comment 8 Pavel Simerda 2005-10-31 19:50:32 UTC

Reproduced on kde 3.4.2

Additionally /-find didn't match string in a textarea.

http://pobox.com/~zahl/kde/testcase/testcase.forms1.html for clickable version of the above testcase.

Using right-click menu find, this works in 4.0 r793981
(ha, it doesn't if you use control-f, but that is now bug #160490)
