New textareas and text inputs

Hello,

Many of you have reported crashes and other problems with editing the
textareas and text inputs used for forms.

This functionality has been rewritten. Please test the latest build:

http://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/

What's changed?
---------------

The INPUT element type TEXT (as used for a search box)
The INPUT element type PASSWORD (as used for login)
The TEXTAREA element (as used for composing forum posts or e-mails)


What do you want me to do?
--------------------------

Please test it and check it works. Is its behaviour as you'd expect?


What's its current status?
--------------------------

Old functionality currently missing:

- Doesn't support shift+left/right to move caret word-by-word.

- Doesn't support selection adjustment (altering an existing
selection.)

Quirks:

- When you select text in a textarea, any text selections elsewhere
in the window don't get cleared.

- When you scroll a textarea, the caret can move outside the textarea.

New features:

- The textarea is auto scrolled as you drag a selection.


Cheers,

Michael
