107897 - when replying to or forwarding an E-mail, caret placement wrong

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 97259

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Nick Pietraniec]

When you're replying to or forwarding an E-mail, and you're typing in the body,
certain key combinations cause the cursor to behave incorrectly.

This seems to only be a problem when replying or forwarding, not when you start
a new E-mail.

I am using 2001101202 on Mandrake Linux 8.1

To reproduce:

Highlight an E-mail
Click reply
In the message body
hit enter
hit tab
hit backspace
instead of deleting the tab, the cursor will look like it deleted the tab and
the carrige return...  However, if you start typing, the cursor will pop down to
it's correct location and add text like it should.
if you hit enter, tab, backspace, enter, the cursor will again look like it
incorrectly deleted the carrige return, but with you hit "enter" at the end, it
will hop down 2 carrige returns (to the correct location.)

Also confirmed on build 2001101117 on Windows 98 SE
