1237563 - Line-break using "
" in contentEditable does not move cursor to new line

Status: UNCONFIRMED

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

Description

[bk]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

if (e.keyCode === ENTER_KEY) {
	e.preventDefault();
	document.execCommand('insertHTML', false, '
');
}


Actual results:

It acts like a line feed, but no carriage return. I also tried \r\n and got the same behavior. It seems impossible to do a carriage return.


Expected results:

Cursor moves to newline like a regular ENTER_KEY in textarea.

Could you attach a testcase, please.
Did it use to work in old versions of Firefox?

This is the first version I try.

Here is a test-case: https://jsfiddle.net/0gkfo2to/

In chrome it works as expected. In IE edge it doesn't work at all.

For the test-case, try typing in the div, then pressing enter once or more times, then typing again.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe, this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
