Braille cursor is shown in thunderbird write window and Firefox edit control when selecting all with control+a #16963
Open
burmancomp opened 2 months ago
Steps to reproduce:
This applies also to firefox (tested in comment edit area of this page).
open empty write window in thunderbird
ensure braille cursor is not shown with dots 7 and 8, or if it is then use blinkin braille cursor
write "test." and press enter
goto start of document with control+home and
press control+a to select all.
Actual behavior:
Empty line with braille cursor is shown.
Expected behavior:
Because all text is selected there should be no braille cursor. If you now:
press shift+left arrow, braille shows "Test." as selected text, and there is no braille cursor.
then press shift+right arrow, also carriage return (or line feed is shown as selected), and there is no braille cursor
finally press shift+right arrow, nothing happens which is logical because there is nothing more to select.
But if you try "steps to reproduce" so that you are end of text, behavior seems to be correct, there is no braille cursor, and all is selected.
