104224 - my postings appear duplicated (within the same post)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 100162

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

This seems to be associated with rewrap.  I never needed to use this until the
last week or so.  Now I seem to need to do it when I am composing. 
Unfortunately, it seems to duplicate my text rather than just rewrap.  I try to
delete it, but in a long post, this can be difficult.  Especially as there is no
really obvious marker of where the duplication starts.  The strange thing is
that both copies have been wrapped.

I have only noticed this in long posts.  When, of course, it's more difficult to
catch the problem before it is sent.


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose long post to newgroup, interleving your comments with those of other
person.  Continue until a line fails to wrap while composing.
2.rewrap
3.post
(Sometimes I have caught the problem before the post step, but it those cases it
has been less embarassing.)

Actual Results:  The text of the document is duplicated.  The cursor is left at
the end, rather than at the current edition position.  All of the text has been
wrapped.

Expected Results:  Wrap the text.  Skip the duplication.  Leave the cursor at
the point where edition is happening.

This sounds like a :Core bug...

[[not reading bugmail]]

I've seen this happen recently to my posts in a build not that far back in the
news.mozilla.org groups..   Several other people have duplicate emails also for
the same timestamp within the last week I know for sure.
