163839 - Cannot place caret into list item if list's structure is invalid

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Daniel Glazman (:glazou) (not active in Mozilla any more)]

win2k build 20020820

1. launch composer
2. open URL attached above ; the list is invalid since the LI has no enclosing
   UL/OL
3. try placing the caret in the list item

   Expected result 1 : the caret is in the list item
   Actual result 1   : caret is invisible

4. type a char

   Expected result 2 : one char in the list item
   Actual result 2   : one char below the list item

Since this kind of standalone is alas quite common on the web, I think this bug
is valid and should be fixed.

If it's a question of initial placement when clicking, that would make this a
selection bug. --> mjudge

i'll look at it first.  I'll pass it off to mike if I can't fix it from editor.

Comment 4

[Joe Francis]

hmm.  There *is* a <br> in the <li>, and yet clicking there doesn't put the
caret in the <li>.  This is indeed a selection issue.  Handing off to mjudge.
