           Summary: elected text in a searchfield only deletes 1 letter at a
                    time
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://mybrute.com/
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jasneet at chromium.org
                CC: jasneet at chromium.org

I Steps:
1. Go to http://mybrute.com/
2. Write something in the "Already signed up?" field
3. select the text with your mouse, that you just wrote, and press 
Delete/backspace or write something.

II Issue:
It only deletes the last letter if you press backspace, and the text isn't 
selected any more. 
It doesn't do anything if you press Delete, and the text isn't selected any 
more.
If you type a letter, a number or the spacebar it just stands after the 
text you did mouseover, and the text isn't selected any more.

III Conclusion:
code for quick reference :
<BODY>
        <FORM action=/go method=post>
          Type something into textbox and select all of the text. Now hit
backspace key. Only last letter gets deleted everytime you hit backspace
insteasd of whole text (in Safari/Chrome) <br/>
          <INPUT 
onkeydown=js.App.normalize(this); onkeyup=js.App.normalize(this); name=name>
        </FORM>
</BODY>

Issue in function : js.App.normalize = function(i) {
i.value = new EReg("[^A-Za-z0-9
#.!*$()_/,+:;\\'<>@\"^&=?[~`%\\]-]","g").split(i.value).join("");
}

IV Other Browsers:
IE7: ok
FF3: ok
