Details

To reproduce:
1)  Open a new mail message compose window and move immediately to the message body.
2)  Type the following text into the message body,without pressing enter:
"Assuming you are using the PLSQL execution engine, the way to obtain the
desired effect is to call the "
3)  Select bold text, either from menu or ctrl-b
4)  Continue typing the following "ff_exec.run_formula"
5)  De-select bold text.
6)  Continue typing the following " procedure with the "
7)  Select bold text.
8)  Continue typing "p_use_dbi_cache". Notice that as soon as the "p" key is
pressed, the text cursor moves backwards and as you continue to type, the
"p_use_dbi_cache" appears immediately after the "ff_exec.run_formula" text (in
bold).
Expected result : the "p_use_dbi_cache" text should appear following the
"procedure with the " text.
Further notes:
1) When I beging to type, the settings shown in my mailnews window are "Body
Text" and "Variable Width", the normal settings.
2) I tried a few different things to see if I could track down exactly what the
problem is, by typing in various combinations of bold and normal text, but was
unable to pinpoint. Therefore, I've used the exact phrase that I was typing in a
mail that alerted me to the problem.
3) Have seen this on Mozilla 1.0 and Netscape 7.0 PR1 (which I believe means
it's been around since at least Moz rc2.
4) The "about:" screen displayed as: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607"
5) Have not tried this on platforms other than Linux.
David Saxby, do you still see this bug with current versions of Mozilla?  I am 
unable to duplicate it, but I am using Windows.
