Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 167585

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Aaron Wynn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

If you reply to a message and then backspace all the text away past the point
where there is text, the mail composer window goes blank and you can't type.
This does not happen in the page composer though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla Mail
2. Reply to a message
3. Backspace all the text away and then backspace one more time with the box empty.
4. Watch the Mozilla Mail go blank. Wow, you can't type! :-)

Actual Results:  
Mozilla Mail window goes blank. You can't type or do anything.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla Mail window goes blank. You can't type or do anything.

Dosen't crash the app it just makes it so you can't type.
Hope I made everything clear. :-)

Hey cmanske, is this a dup of that bug you mentioned on IRC where we actually
delete the body node?
