When using the Up and Down arrow keys to move around in an edit box (like here in Bugzilla or on a Wiki), in Firefox-1.5.* the cursor also moves to the start of the line, instead of going straight up or down as it did in Firefox-1.0.*.

uppsss sorry about this copy.. :-\

At comment #1 and #2: this is not what this bug is about. (Are you sure the page has focus? When flipping through multiple tabs, the current tab sometimes loses focus. First click in it to make sure it's focused.) This bug is about the movement of the cursor in an edit box, a field in a form, a field like the "Additional Comments:" box you typed the above into.
ok... sorry.. :-\ . and yes.. the page has focus..

Hmm... We're using different compilers, so a compilation error becomes quite unlikely. Nevertheless: I've tried compiling with -march=i586 instead -- it makes no difference. I've tried moving ~/.mozilla out of the way -- it doesn't help. The only thing I haven't tried is using a clean profile, simply because I don't understand what is meant with it.
Mozilla bug is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335810 and it is caused by Pango. Workaround is to set MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 as an environment variable.
> Workaround is to set MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 as an environment variable. Yay! Thank you very much! This has held me on 1.0.7/1.0.8 for a long time.
The redhat bug has a patch for this. This has been pointed out in the mozilla bug. Personally I can't wait for this to be fixed.
This has been fixed upstream, and is in the trunk.
Created attachment 104681 [details, diff] cursor positioning patch Attached patch (checked into trunk) fixed this bug for me. I'll try to get it into 1.5.0.9-r1
The patch is also missing in Firefox 2.x, Thunderbird 1.5.x / 2.x and SeaMonkey 1.0.x / 1.1.x. I see the bug in SeaMonkey 1.0.x (haven't tried other Gentoo builds and Mozilla builds don't have this bug because Pango is disabled there). By looking at the code, it should be 100% reproducible on any Pango system; I wonder why this doesn't get more interest, without the workaround it makes the apps pretty unusable for me. The upstream fix will appear in Firefox 3.
Fixed in mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.1-r1.
