98260 - delete doesn't merge lines together

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[sujay]

1) launch netscape
2) launch composer
3) insert text on first line
4) hit carriage return
5) insert another line of text
6) place caret before first char of first line
7) hit bullet list 
8) click end of first line
9) hit "Delete" key

observe caret moves down to the second line and deletes first char.

expected: second line should get appended to the first line
and caret should stay on first line.

Another scenario:

a) add 2 x 2 table
b) click in any cell
c) repeat steps 3 thru 9 above

observe: caret locks up, doesn't delete anything
expected:  second line should get appended to the first line
and caret should stay on first line.

this is "forward delete", right?

On Win 2k using build 2001121803, I am seeing a similar issue.

Using the same steps, I see that after step 9, the caret jumps down to the
second line, but does not delete the first character.  If I put the caret back
up at the end of the first line, and then hit delete again, it will append the
two lines together.

I am reopening this bug.

WORKSFORME.  There is a known issue with my recent deletion work that you may be 
seeing.  If the content that would be pulled into an adjacent block is _not_ a 
text node, then you see the behavior you describe.  I have opened 115900 to cover 
that.
