131854 - Cursor not always positionned correctly after nsIEditorShell::InsertSource

Status: NEW

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

Description

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

While working on bug 107425, I found that when I call
nsIEditorShell::InsertSource, the cursor was not always correctly positionned at
the end of the newly inserted data.

jfrancis, from reading the bug 107425, it sounds like when we are done, we are
collapsing the caret to the point where we did the insert instead of collapsing
after it.

I don't think you can use mail to reproduce this anymore since the fix for bug
107425 looks like the caret is manually moved to the end of the doc after their
insertion which I think is the right thing for them to be doing anyways since we
can change our "caret placement after edit operation" policies at any time ...
your recent place the caret in the last item in pasted content change comes to mind.

In any case, for consistency sake, I think the InsertSource() should probably
follow Paste's collapsing model. If we did that, mail would've had to do their
fix for bug 107425 anyways.

Doh, it looks like I forgot to reassign this to jfrancis, back in March.

Joe, see my comments above.

The trunk is the wave of the future!

The days of having a half dozen milestones out in front of us to divide bugs 
between seem to be gone, though I dont know why.  Lumping everything together as 
far out as I can.  I'll pull back things that I am working on as I go.

I work on them

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.
