Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020206 I have seen this in older version, not in 0.9.6, but now again. Regression? When you type in the plain text editor a message (mail or news) and hit return, often (not always) several new lines are created. You can move up and down using the cursor keys. Depending on where you type one line above your typing is deleted, again I cannot exactly say when this happens. Something which seems to be related (in the sense that it happens after the problem described above): Suddenly the editor does no longer break the lines you type. They become arbitrarily long. Inserting a line break manually usually causes another empty line between the two new lines (a double line break in the sense above). You can delete this one. From then on line breaking works again as expected. Sorry, if this sounds confusing, it is. And it is more than annoying (->major). pi

I see this bug sometimes, using 0.9.8 and nightlies for quite some time now. I can't quite reproduce it at will, because it seems to happen at random (at least I can't see a pattern yet). It also happens it the HTML composer. I addition to the things described by Boris: When I hit backspace, the lines (mostly 3 or four) do get deleted, that means they do not get created really.
It would be helpful if we can get reproduceable test steps for the plaintext case. Joe, I'm wondering if what Holger is seeing in HTML Compose is similar to what you are fixing in bug 121282.

This bug is a duplicate of bug 102819 or bug 58960.
This here is not bug 58960. Bug 102819 seems to be a subcase of this one here. What we have in this bug is (sometimes) worse. Also the severity rating seems to be more appropriate here. I'd suggest marking bug 102819 a dupe of this one. pi
i cant' really tell what this bug is about. Does this only happen when you have quoted replies?
Yes, it seems to be related to quoting. pi
Boris, what about a screenshot as an attachment?
Still happening in 0.9.9. Not an exact step to reproduce, but it seems to happen adjacent to quotes. pi
As I said: Bug 102819 seems to be a subcase of this one here. But since that bug has more attention, I'll mark this here as a dupe. pi *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 102819 ***
