126754 - extra characters in Mozilla Bug Reporting Form

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect, P1)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.8+)

BuildID:    2002021708

There appears to be extra characters in the Bug Reporting Form at
<http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html>.  The specific form
element is textarea used for "Steps to Reproduce".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the example page.
2. Put the insertion point after "3.".
3. Press BACKSPACE twice. (notice where the insertion point is)
4. Type something.

Actual Results:  The typed words appear on the third line.

Expected Results:  Either
One: The insertion point remains on the third line.
or
Two: The hidden character is deleted after the second BACKSPACE.

The code in the page is:
<textarea rows=5 cols=70 name=ReproduceSteps wrap=virtual></textarea>.

From this, I don't know where the numbering comes from in the first place.

Upon further inspection, I saw this line:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"
src="./bugreport.js"></script>

This makes me believe the culprit is actually JavaScript, but I don't know.

textarea.
