Slide guestures janky in Firefox text fields
Steps to reproduce
- Open Firefox Android (v123.1.0 -- might happen elsewhere too, but I can't observe it under Chrome Android)
- Load a page with a text field; e.g. a DuckDuckGo search
- Put cursor inside text field, and slide gesture to the left (or right) with the spacebar key
Expected behavior
- Cursor smoothly slides to the left (right) and goes to the end of the word.
Actual behavior
- Cursor "rubberbands" in-place, and never moves more than a few characters -- or if it does, it never moves to the start (end) of the word.
- Normal spacebar swipes still work.
version of the program
2.6.9 (FDroid) & 2.6.25 (from releases)
Android version
Android 13
Device
Moto G54 5G
Other details
Screen recordings
Sorry for the low quality, I blame my phone's inbuilt gif recorder.
The same field works fine with MessagEase's back-and-forth skip-a-whole-word swipe, and it also works fine with Gboard's swipe-on-spacebar-to-move-cursor feature. Not sure what might be going on exactly.
