Comment #12 on issue 2856 by smtpserver42: cursor jumps to end of e-mail http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2856
I am able to consistently reproduce this issue using 1.0.154.48 Below is a more detailed description of the steps needed to reproduce it. Please let me know if you need more info. Or I could do a gotomeeting screencast if you would like for me to demonstrate this issue live. 1. in Gmail, click "Compose Mail" 2. Add a few lines of dummy text to the body of the email message. This will simulate a message where you are adding new text above existing text in the body of the email. (e.g., you have a signature in your message or you are replying to an existing message). For this bug to be demonstrated, you must have existing text in the body of the email message. 3. click "Attach a file" 4. click "Choose file" button 5. Locate a file in your file system that you can attach to the email message. This should be a file that is large enough to take at least five seconds to upload. For example, I used picasa3-setup.exe which is 9.47MB. If you have a very fast Internet connection, you may need to use a larger file. click [Open] in the file chooser dialog box to begin the upload of the file to gmail. 6. Very quickly, immediately after the file starts uploading, click at the beginning of the text in the email body to return the cursor to the beginning of the email message (before the first word of the dummy text you just entered). Continuously type new text into the body of the email in the position before the existing text. Or you can also place the cursor before the existing text and hold down one character key on the keyboard and let that character repeat over and over. 7. In the body of the email message, watch the position of the cursor as you are continuously typing new text into the email body. Continue typing in new text rapidly while the file uploads. When the file you just attached has finished uploading, the text cursor JUMPS to the end of the body text in the email and your text entry continues from that point. So the text you were entering into the body of the email during the file upload is now in two parts: one part is before the existing text that was already in the body of the email, and a second part that is after the existing body text. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
