1094633 - [Contenteditable] the cursor position is off when the element is empty but has generated content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 904846

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

Attachment: editable.html

STR:
1. open the attachment
2 [review]. put the cursor in the white zone (contenteditable area)
=> notice it's correctly located
3. push the button
4. put the cursor in the white zone again
=> notice the cursor is badly located
5. start typing some text
=> notice the text is now correctly positioned

This happens also without any positioning CSS properties but it's more off with these CSS properties.

This impairs the SMS application in Firefox OS since we started doing MMS and using contenteditable fields (so, since version v1.1). We need to take care to always leave a <br> element so that the cursor is correctly located. It starts to be difficult with the cut&paste capability we'll have in v2.2.

Ehsan, I've been told you're the one to needinfo here?

Asking for blocker status on v2.2 because this is becoming more difficult to workaround with the cut&paste capability.
