Click on Code: SELECT ALL - Jumps to Top of Page

Post by BuddhaNature »

Don't know if this a FF issue or a mozillaZine board issue.

If there is some code in a code-box that I want to copy then I click on the Code: SELECT ALL option. When I do that:

(A) The code doesn't get selected.
(B) The entire page jumps up to the top of page.

Something wrong there. Any solutions?

Code: Select all

This is just a test Code entry.
Click on SELECT ALL.
Dang! Went straight to the top of the page.

Yep, it's the same way here, (and in Safe Mode) has been for a while...
Improvise, adapt and move on... :)

to the top because the anchor has no target because script is buggy!?

That happens if you don't have JS (JavaScript) enabled on a website.

Morat, by my reading of that thread it seems that this is a forum configuration problem Am I right in thinking that?

(I "file containing text" searched my profile folder and my FF install folder and can't find anything that corresponds to a snippet of the code that Alice0775 provides.)

If I am right in thinking this is a forum configuration problem then this problem was flagged by Alice0775 in March 2017 - and with a proposed solution. So now I wonder why the forum folks don't fix it?

The site admin needs to update the forum.

Thanks, morat.

How long does it take to copy and paste a solution that someone else provided? (Can't use CODE: SELECT ALL of course, so I guess that's a bit of an awful time-consuming downer.)

What are we waiting on? A Leap Year with a whole extra day to fill in? :(
