           Summary: clicking below end of text in a textarea moves cursor
                    to wrong position
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: danw at gnome.org


in most apps (eg, normal gtk, firefox, safari), if you have a multi-line
editable text thingy, and you click anywhere below the end of the text, it's
equivalent to clicking at the very end of the text.

in webkitgtk though, if you click below the end of the text, it's equivalent to
clicking on the last line of text *at the same X coordinate as where you
clicked*.

(Of course if the text ends with a newline then there's no difference.)

This is especially annoying when trying to middle-button paste something, and
instead of being pasted at the end of the line, it ends up being pasted in the
middle of a word or something.
