6773 - First character typed in blank editor window doesn't insert

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

I've been seeing this for a few days on the mail compose window; now that we
have "blank window" for the editor, I'm seeing it there too:
On a blank editor window, or the mail compose window, click in the window, then
type a couple of characters.  On the first character typed, nothing gets
inserted but the caret (which previously wasn't there) starts blinking; from the
second character on everything works normally.

Apparently only a problem on unix?

Need to at least look at whether this can be fixed for M6.

That's append when your start typing inside the editor before editor is done
loading the real body page. We need to be able to lock everything until ender is
ready.

Found it -- an nsresult was being checked but we were in an if clause where it
wasn't ever being set.

cc'ing bruce in case he may have seen this as a purify error in the mail compose
window.
