Hi, 
i just noticed that the cursor is always positioned on char to the right of where it should be in the following text area in FF3.
www.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/node/add/event in the "Textkoerper' field.
The cursor routing doesn't work consistently: You have to press the button one char to the right of where you want to go. The cursor appears on the cell where you pressed the button. However, text is inserted one char to the left.

I hope this description isn't too confusing :-)

I'm using the  Ubuntu 8.04 Firefox package and current orca trunk.

Cheers, Rudolf

Your description make sense and is confirmed. Thanks!

It turns out that the problem is the presence of a multibyte character, the ö in Textkörpe being incorrectly handled.

Will's patch in bug 551077 fixes that. Closing this one as a dup of that bug.

Three cheers for Will! Make it five. Aw heck, Will, you can have all the cheers you want. ;-)
