Multiple weird behaviors of issues search box
Summary
There are multiple weird issues with the "issues" search box editing experience.
Steps to reproduce
- Type several words in the "issues" search box
- Try single click to move cursor between words
- Try drag to select multiple words
- Try double click and drag to begin selecting multiple words
- Try triple click to select the whole text (paragraph)
I'm using Firefox nightly on Linux.
Example Project
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues
What is the current bug behavior?
- When positioned before the final word, the word has a very large space after it (about 1/4 of the whole search box)
- Dragging to select only works within a single word
- Double click selects one word, but dragging doesn't select more
- Triple click does nothing instead of selecting them all
What is the expected correct behavior?
These are normal operations elsewhere in the browser (and GitLab):
- No large space after the word under cursor
- Dragging to select several words (so that I can delete and rephrase them)
- Double click and dragging selects multiple words (so I don't need to place my mouse exactly at word boundaries)
- Triple click selects them all (this helps to start a new search; the X button on the right is far away)
