When printing a formatted text into a textarea tag(using Courier as font), the
spaces are not the same size as the letters. This ends in a wrong displaying in
the browser. In the source code, everything looks good. The IE displays
everything correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just put a formatted text into a textarea tag, which uses spaces to seperate
the parts, maybe use a table(no html-table!)
Actual Results:  
I saw the bug ;)

Expected Results:  
Display the text-table correctly
Please attach an HTML testcase showing the problem?  How do you know that the
font in the textarea is actually Courier?

What're the contents of basic.css?  And please use the "Create a New Attachment"
link above this textarea instead of just pasting large chunks of text into it...
Attached file basic.css — 
You're right, the fault was the basic.css. Tried it without and it works.
Thanks.
But anyways: the IE displays this code correctly. Is this a bug in Mozilla anyways?

Attached file HTML testcase — 
This is the HTML from comment 2, with the stylesheet link changed.
Attached patch patch — — Splinter Review 
Default to 'word-spacing: normal; letter-spacing: normal' on input and
textarea.

(Should we do this on both, or only textarea?)
