Description Todor Buyukliev 2004-04-06 12:28:32 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7) 
OS:          Linux

it's possible to have multiple text cursors blinking on a page with multiple text boxes in konqueror! at least on my system:) maybe it's not a bug, but a feature. i find it very funny:)

steps to reproduce:

1. open in konqueror several tabs, one (or more) of which have more than one text fields in it.
2. place the text cursor with the mouse in one of the fields
3. change the current tab with the mouse ot keyboard
4. change back to the original tab. you'll see the text cursor blinking where you left it.
5. now click with the mouse in another text box
6. you now have two text cursors blinking on the page. if the page has 10 text fields you can have 10 cursors blinking:)

even when you start typing the first cursor does not disappear. i'm testing this on this very bug report form:)

I can not reproduce this one. I am using KDE 3.2.2 (from precompiled KDE CVS HEAD debian packages). 

I tried the procedure described using the pages of KDE bug reports and also using a couple of files in a local directory with a few input boxes. I see only one cursor blinking.

two blinking cursors at the same time

Tested with KDE 3.2.2 (@SuSE 9.1)
Comment 3 Haeber 2004-05-13 20:23:20 UTC
I think this isn't a Problem with khtml but with the javascript function focus(). After I used this function I've seen 2 text-coursors at the same time.
Comment 4 Vedran Ljubovic 2004-09-21 21:33:24 UTC
I confirm this bug with KDE 3.3 compiled from source. It is very easy to reproduce:

- open a bugzilla page, like http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79173
- create a new tab with Ctrl+N
- switch back to bugzilla
- place cursor in "Add CC:" field (near the bottom)
- switch to the empty tab
- switch back to bugzilla
- place cursor in "Summary:" field
- voila! two cursors

I don't think Bugzilla uses javascript.

Comment 7 Stephan Kulow 2004-11-22 14:42:50 UTC
It's a bit easier to reproduce with http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=4889&action=view but #4 shows it's not js specific
Comment 8 Haeber 2005-11-11 03:32:12 UTC
Still this happens in Konqueror 3.4.92 (3.5 beta2), go to linked site of comment #7 and try/reproduce it.

Best regards
Thomas
Comment 9 Maksim Orlovich 2006-10-28 19:58:42 UTC
OK, I can't reproduce the tab thing, and I fixed the JS one , so I think I'll close it..
Comment 10 Vedran Ljubovic 2006-10-29 15:54:11 UTC
Maksim, I can still reproduce bug with Konqueror 3.5.5. Are you talking about svn trunk?
Comment 11 Maksim Orlovich 2006-10-29 16:32:19 UTC
Tip of 3.5.x branch, after this commit: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-commits&m=116205863126463&w=2
And when you say "this bug" what do you mean: the one with JS, or the one with switching tabs manually?
Comment 12 Vedran Ljubovic 2006-10-29 18:40:00 UTC
I meant the JS bug. Didn't see your commit, thanks a lot for fixing this.
Comment 13 Marcel Partap 2007-12-19 20:54:26 UTC
Just wanted to file this as 'random kool features, part 9382: three blinking cursors in form fields?!'... KHTML 3.5.8, still there. Although this was the first time I saw this.
