Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1a1pre) Gecko/2008071716 Minefield/3.1a1pre

Steps:
1. Load data:text/html,<textarea rows=4 cols=7>abcdefghijklmnop</textarea>
2. Click in the visible text.
3. Press the Down arrow key.

Result: 
The caret moves all the way to the right (after the 'p') as expected, but the textarea content fails to scroll to keep the caret in view.
