Description Ravindra Jaju 2005-10-11 09:46:14 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.90)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) 
OS:                Linux

(Explanation with an example - Behaviour of the Mozilla Engine used as reference)
1] Log into some GMail account. Go to compose message
2] Enter some email address in the To: field. Some choices will pop-up (assuming you have sent some mails from this account)
3] Say, the address (with the name etc.) is 30 characters long, and you have typed three characters (I type 'rav' and get a drop-down menu with many names starting with 'Ravindra Jaju <rav......@.....>'. I press 'Tab' to select the first email address.
4] Konqueror correctly picks the first entry, BUT instead of taking the cursor to position 31+ (after the comma etc.) it still stays after location 3 (After my typed entry 'rav')

Since I have selected a suggested value, I would expect the cursor to move to the end to be able to enter more data (addresses in this case)

Gets a bit irritating when entering multiple addresses and selecting from the pop-down because I end up typing at the existing current cursor location screwing up the currently selected email-address.

PS: Thanks for everything! :) You guys rock!

My original entry shows KDE version as 3.4.90, but what I am using is 3.4.91!
Sorry for choosing the wrong version (although I don't remember choosing 3.4.90 explicitly - I guess the option I chose was KDE 3.5-beta1 or something)

Problem exists in 3.4.92 as well ...
Comment 3 Joseph Tate 2007-01-06 19:41:39 UTC
GMail does not support Konqueror.  Can you illustrate this behavior with another site, or better yet, a stand-alone html/javascript page?
Comment 4 Mike Williams 2007-01-08 04:51:47 UTC
I can confirm this bug with kde 3.5.5, slackware 11. However, I don't know if konqueror is responsible for moving the cursor forward, or if this is supposed to be done in some konqueror-incompatible javascript function.

This has been fixed on KDE 4.

tried even on a more recent revision (trunk r802881). It works right.
