regression: Strange Cursor Problem with ValidationTextBox

[taras]

Hi

I found this bug, that for sure it did not appear 1 month before.

I have a ContentPane? inside a BorderContainter?. Inside both I defined a dialog. I know that this is not a typical case, in my application I have several levels of ContentPanes? and a lot of widgets inside, but this case is the minimum case that replicate the problem that I found.

Problem: cursor is not displayed inside the TextBox?. Browser: FF2 (not tested with other browsers) Version: 10/Aug/2008 but the problem happens with at least: 03/Aug/2008 and may be before.

I attached a test program that replicates the problem.

Note: The cursor reappears in the two following cases:

[1] if height: 100%; is removed from the html, body{ style. [2] If dijit.layout.ContentPane? is removed.

In my application I cannot apply those workarounds, so I am really stucked with this issue.

Thanks !

This sounds familiar (although not with such a complicated test case).

This is a regression caused by [14612].
Adding overflow:hidden to dijitDialog broke this.
Eduardo, thanks for the excellent testcase. As a workaround, add overflow:auto to your Dialog style markup.

Ah, the joys of browser bugs. FWIW, this only occurs when the Dialog is over the BorderContainer. I'm attaching a simplified testcase to show that. (If you move the Dialog away from the BorderContainer then you can see the cursor.

problem only occurs when Dialog is over the BorderContainer?.

[bill]

even simpler testc case. problem occurs when <input> is over <div style="overflow:auto">

[bill]

root FF2 bug (overflow: hidden <div> over overflow: auto <div>)

(In [14913]) Remove overflow: hidden from Dialog. Although it makes dragging smoother on FF2/linux, it causes a disappearing cursor problem on FF2. The bad outweighs the good. Fixes #7408, refs #5285.
