Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

If you use document.execCommand('FormatBlock', false, '<blockquote>') in a contenteditable div that only has one line, a blockquote element will be inserted before the editable div.  Will attach test case.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to the test case page
2.  Click inside the editor to give it focus
3.  Click the blockquote button
Actual Results:  
A blockquote element is inserted outside of the editor, before it (outlined in red).  There is also an error generated in the error console:

Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument.execCommand]
Source file: http://vestitools.pbworks.com/f/formatblocktest.html
Line: 1


Expected Results:  
Inserted a blockquote element inside the rich text editor

If you type anything on the first line and try to insert a blockquote, it will still be inserted before the editor.  It seems like it can only be prevented (in this example) by inserting a line break.  Then, blockquotes will be entered into the editor as expected.

Bad blockquotes are outlined in red, good ones in green

confirmed with

GC 5 dev and Opera 10.5 behave as expected.

unsure if this is already covered by a dependency of Bug 237964.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe, this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.

WFM.

I think that this was fixed by bug 1726064.

Perhaps, by this patch.
