Bug 273282

Version:           4.6.2 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

As specified in Bug 156574 there is a problem with text selection in Konqueror.

The textarea element is very nearly good, but this last piece was determined to be a wish:

Click-dragging a selection past the bottom of the textarea properly scrolls the textarea allowing to extend the selection to text that is not yet visible towards the bottom of the text.

However, click-dragging a selection up past the top of the textarea does not automatically scroll the text.

This may also be related to Bug 253682 which describes a similar problem with the single-line text input widget.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a bunch of text in an html textarea. Enough to cause scrollbars to appear ton the textarea.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the textarea.
3. Start a selection near the bottom of the text area
4. Keep holding the mouse button and move the mouse above the top of the textarea

Actual Results:  
Can only select text that is visible in the textarea

Expected Results:  
textarea scrolls up when mouse moves outside of the textarea allowing selection of additional text as it scrolls in to view.

Personally, I'd call this a bug, since no other application I have ever used behaves this way, but I was asked to open it as wishlist, so...
