GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 561202
proxy preferences re-writes "http://" as you type
Last modified: 2008-11-17 21:00:35 UTC
Please describe the problem: I started up my computer this morning to find that my network proxy settings weren't working anymore. I decided to switch off the "automatic proxy configuration" and back to "manual", since sometimes that autoconfig file gets borked inexplicably. So I'm typing in my proxy server in the box: "http://w" And then the ugliness starts. As the developers probably know (and planned), the "http://" part is removed automatically from the box. That was a little confusing at first, but I figured out what was going on quickly enough. The problem is, it put the cursor to the *left* of the w, not to the *right*. So if I had continued typing my full server address, it would have looked like this: ww-proxy.mycompany.comw That's not right, is it? Can we get the cursor to point to the *end* of the text box's contents after doing its autoreplace magic? Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Network Proxy Preferences 2. Select Manual proxy configuration 3. Type "http://w" in the HTTP proxy field Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
