1204924 - deleting space at end of pasted text deletes the preceding letter instead

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150826185918

Steps to reproduce:

1. In a new compose window, type a word followed by a space.
2. Ctrl-A to select all the text, Ctrl-X to cut the text, then Ctrl-V to paste the text.
3. Your cursor should now be positioned at the end of the space at the end of the word.
4. Press backspace.


Actual results:

Instead of deleting the trailing space, the last letter of the word is deleted instead. If you then press the right arrow key, you will see that the space is still there. Deleting all the letters of the pasted word will result in a tiny cursor in the very top-left corner of the compose window.


Expected results:

I expected to delete the trailing space with the keypress in step 4.

I should add that this bug does not occur when composing a plaintext e-mail.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
