Suppose I go to the box in which I've typed "phantom characters" (the title of this message), move the cursor to the front, and delete the initial "p" (perhaps because I want to change it to "P"). The other 18 characters -- including the space, and sorry if I've miscounted -- would be expected to move slightly to the left:
hantom characters
That's what would have happened last week. But now, it wouldn't happen; instead I'd see:
hantom characterss
Indeed, if I left my finger on the Del key, I'd read
racterssssssssssss
etc.
Now, my growing-fast-but-still-minuscule knowledge of Linux tells me that Del and Backspace don't work in (say) bash as they might on the MS-DOS command line to which I'm accustomed. Fair enough. But why should the addition of Japanese make this change to Mozilla?
I've never seen that in Mozilla and couldn't reproduce it now either.
Where exactly does that happen? In the URL entry widget?
Is it reproducible? Can you give detailed instructions how to
reproduce it?
