Description crozierm 2003-12-08 00:08:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.2 

This is a subtle bug in konqueror from the latest CVS, 3.2beta-ish.  There are similar bug reports, but they don't seem to describe the behaviour that I am seeing.

When I use the mouse to highlight text in a text field on webpage (like the one I'm using to enter this bug ;-), the text field does not obtain keyboard focus.  Instead, the main window is granted focus.

For example, I am currently typing in the "Long Description in English" text area on the bugs.kde.org bug wizard.  If I take the mouse and select "focus problem in text boxes" from the "Short Description" text field, then hit the space bar, the highlighted text should be replaced with a space.  Instead, the konqueror window has the focus and the space bar makes the entire window scroll down.  The only way to get the focus into the text field is use to the mouse to get the cursor in the text fields WITHOUT highlighting text, then use the keyboard to add/delete text.

Explicit steps:
1. go to web page with text field form
2. place focus in a text field and type "foo"
3. move focus to another text field, type "bar"
4. double click "foo" to highlight
5. attempt to type-replace "foo" unsuccessfully, leading one to believe that foo is const

The bug only seems to affect single line text boxes, not multi-line ones "Long" vs "short" description fields.

Thanks
