           Summary: REGRESSION: Clicking on scrollbar of textarea does not
                    fully focus the element
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Regression, NativeTextArea
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ddkilzer at kilzer.net


Summary:

When clicking on the scrollbar of an unfocused textarea, focus is not fully set
on the textarea element since no caret is drawn and typing has no effect.  (See
Bug 11746 Comment #15 for behavior of other modern web browsers.)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load a page with a textarea (like this bug page).
2. Click in the web page (but outside of the textarea).
3. Click on the scrollbar part of the textarea (either the bar itself or its
buttons--anywhere).

Expected behavior:

A caret should appear in the textarea, and typing should insert text into the
textarea.

Actual behavior:

A focus ring is drawn around the textarea, but typing does nothing and no caret
is drawn.

Workaround:

Once the textarea has "focus" with a mouse click in the scrollbar part, hit
Tab, then Shift-Tab.  Note that a caret is drawn and typing is possible within
the textarea.

Notes:

Regression from shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L127).  See
also Bug 11746 Comment #15 for behavior of other modern web browsers.
