(Whiteboard: [PDT+][by 12/3] will verify on 12/7 build.) 

Steps:
1) Open a blank page
2) Type some text such as "asdf"
3) Hit return

Actual Results: Do not see cursor on the next line.

Expected Results: Cursor blinking or still on the next line

Build # and Platform: 1999101808 on WinNT
This also affects TEXTAREA elements in the browser. Surely the same code
is being invoked.

BTW, the proper terminology is "caret". The cursor is the visual
indicator of the location of the mouse pointer; the caret is the
visual indicator of the current text insertion point.

Simon, setting this to M12, I think this is related to the problems discussed

Summary: Do not see blinking or still cursor after hitting the Enter/Return key → [DOGFOOD] Do not see blinking or still cursor after hitting the Enter/Return key
This is really screwing me up on plaintext mail compose,
I am voting this in as a dogfood candidate and marking it so.

i think this is a dup of 18869 which is a PDT+ bug...yep...this needs a fix.  We
must have mcafee happy !

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18869 ***
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Depends on: 18869
This is not a duplicate of 18869.  In fact, 18869 needs to be fixed before this
bug can be reproduced.

Reopening bug.

Clearing Duplicate resolution due to reopen.  Putting on PDT+ radar
it's coming.  really.  no, really!  This will be part of the next large
"reworking everything once again" checkin that will likely land on sunday.  Then
everyone can tell me how much they liked the old way better!  :-P

I have the fix for this.  It's part of a mongo checkin that I will try to get in
in the next 24 hours.
Blocks: 12658
this is fixed, but soe other bugs make it appear only partially fixed.  Some
notes:

1) My fix only applies to html editors right now.  I'll port the work over to
plaintext editors soon.  (so mcafee won't see improvement in plaintext yet)

2) There is a seperate bug that can cause the caret to disappear despite my
efforts in the editor (see bug 20106).  This may block verification.  One way you
can tell that we have made some forward progess here is to not that you do get a
blank line when you hit return now at the end of the document.

I'll leave this open for now - I'm hoping to get in a plaintext fix soon.
Interested parties can play with the html editor now to see the behavior.

PDT status unchanged: should be fixed before 12/3.

adding myself to cc: list as this affects mail compose as well.

First off, my earlier comment had a bad typo.  It should have read (in part):
"One way you can tell that we have made some forward progess here is to NOTE that
you do get a blank line when you hit return now at the end of the document."

Secondly, I have adapted the work I did for the html editor and checked in a fix
for plaintext as well.  Textfields, Textareas, plaintext mail should all have
better behavior now.  Note that Bug 20106 may still make the caret disappear in
this (and other) circumstances, but it's not the same bug.

Marking fixed.  Now we need to fix 20106.  God save the Queen.

The cursor is positioned one line down from where it should be. Although typing
proves that the real cursor is where it's supposed to be. using winNT build
2000021708. I think bug 19242 is blocked by this.
