           Summary: Rich text editor does not scroll horizontally when
                    trying to edit a long string of text
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dianakim at microsoft.com


Rich text editor does not scroll when editing a word longer than the width of
the input field, which results in user not being able to see what they are
modifying.

1) Input a long string of characters into a rich text edit field--such as the
"new message composition" field for Yahoo! Mail--until the characters exceed
the width of the input field. (Note: this does not repro in GMail, where text
wraps once it hits the far edge of the input field.)
2) Place insertion point at the beginning of the string of characters, and
press "End" on the keyboard or attempt to use arrow keys to navigate toward the
end of the string.

Expected result: Rich text editor scrolls right, revealing the end of the
string and moving the insertion point accordingly

Actual result: Rich text editor does not scroll horizontally in response to
"End" or arrow keys, which results in the user not being able to reach the end
of the string via keyboard commands alone.

Note: This is especially problematic for navigating long URLs in rich text edit
fields via keyboard commands.
