Guys,

    The editor in 3.1.3 is going haywire. If I start a paragraph with a 'tab' and then want to delete the tab, I have always just hit 'backspace' to clear the tab. Now for some reason unexplained, I can't backspace over the tab. Hitting backspace deletes the line but not the tab -- what gives.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

Seems to be fixed in 3.1.4:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.1.4 Thunderbird/3.1.4

You can close once you confirm.

Same problem as bug 595197? (bug 595197 is dup of bug 592592, fixed by Tb 3.1.4)
