New Person Page - HOME & END keys - Inconsistent user interface

- Situation: The text boxes on "New Person Page" have behaviour different than same boxes on other pages.
- Need: Behaviour of HOME & END keys in text boxes on "New Person Page" should be the same behaviour as other FamilySearch pages. When cursor is in textbox of all other FamilySearch pages; the follow keys behave as expected:
- HOME key moves cursor to beginning of textbox.
- END key moves cursor to end of text within textbox.
- SHIFT-HOME and SHIFT-END are similar cursor movement; text is also hilighted ready for copy/cut operations.
- Outcome: On the "New Person Page"; the above mentioned keys behave as expected in various name fields; but are ignored in the date and place fields. Therefore many extra clicks or mouse movements are required for these basic functions.
- Benefit: Keyboard input of data will be much more efficient by not disabling the normal function of these keys.
- Helpful Additions: There are several community discusions about this issue; perhaps more than those listed here:
Thank you for your time.
