1197518 - Cursor jumps to next line after pressing Delete key during Email forward

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Darrel Joy]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150812163655

Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird version 38.2.0

1. Select an e-mail from my inbox.
2. Click on Forward button
*** Note: My e-mail option says to convert to Plain Text (not HTML) ***
*** Note: My e-mail option says to forward messages "inline".
*** Note: My e-mail option is to open messages in an existing window.
3. The text of the selected msg will be shown below 3 blank lines and then
-------- Forwarded Message --------
4. (Optional) Place cursor on the 3rd blank line and type AAA.
5. Place cursor on the first blank line and press the Delete key.


Actual results:

The first blank line is deleted (as expected) and the following lines are moved up one position (as expected), but then the cursor is moved down to the new line 2 position (unexpected) instead of remaining on line 1.



Expected results:

The cursor should have remained on line 1, position 1.

If I intended to delete more than 1 line, it would have removed the wrong line or it would have deleted characters from the wrong line. (AAA becomes AA).

This has been happening for years -- long before version 38.2.0.
