Emacs bindings and `home`/`end` don't scroll URL entry buffer, but arrow keys do

Open wongandj opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug When entering or editing a URL that is longer than the URL entry buffer is wide (and while in emacs-mode), pressing C-a, C-e, C-b, C-f, home, or end can all move the text cursor outside of the visible area of text. However, pressing the left and right arrow keys does correctly scroll the buffer.

Precise recipe to reproduce the issue Activate emacs-mode and navigate to a page with a long URL(here's an example). Then, type C-l and move the cursor out of view with C-a, C-e, C-b, C-f, home, or end.

For website-specific issues: Can you reproduce this issue with Epiphany / GNOME Web (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web)? N/A

Very good report, thanks!

There many issue here, so it's hard to choose from where to start. At some point, we will need to re-implement the prompt buffer so let's leave this issue for that time.
