I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature. This happens when using the
multiline textbox for sending messages. (The thing you get when you press
ctrl+up) After you press ctrl+enter to send the message, the textbox does not
clear. If you don't understand, see the steps to reproduce.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up chatzilla, connect to a server, go to a channel, etc
2. Set chatzilla in multiline mode, by pressing ctrl+up
3. Type your message
4. Send your message using ctrl+enter

Actual Results:  
The text remains in the multiline textbox after you have sent the message.

Expected Results:  
The text should be removed from the multiline textbox after you send the message.

When I submitted this bug report I forgot to check if it happened with a build
less than 2 weeks old.

I can confirm that the bug happens with Build Identifier:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021027

This was intentional. The original intent of the multi-line textbox was for
testing javascript in chatzilla.  So, you'd want the text to stay there so you
could edit it and try again.  Perhaps it is time to change that behavior.

I am using 'Chatzilla 0.8.13b [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030203]'

The multiline textbox clears, but the cursor is on the second line after entry
instead of back at the top (where it should be).

Is this related enough to this bug, or shall I create a new bug?
