Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

[Ian Barber]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    2001101117

The problem occurs when there is text which wraps normally, a new line, a long
(enough to cause a horizontal scroll bar) continuous string with no spaces (ala
a long URL), then a newline (and another line afterwards, though this may not be
needed). If you click on the newline after the long no spaces line, the cursor
ends up two lines above where you clicked, which can be somewhat confusing.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open give HTML snippet in mozilla.
2. Click the blank line above the final line of text.


Actual Results:  The cursor appears two lines above where you clicked.

Expected Results:  The cursor should have appeared at the start of the line you
clicked on.

Firstly a paragraph of text that will wrap normally, as it should do. The
problem is clearly centered around extrmely long words, or more commonly URL's,
which are entered in to the form I think.

Works for me in the Nov 8th build (2001-11-08-03) under Windows 2000.
