19324 - Carraige return funniness on text area text input...

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 10683

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[jason]

Running moz m11 on redhat 6.0, glibc2.1, kernel 2.2.13

When inputting text into a text box, pressing the 'Return' key does not advance
the text input cursor to the next line. However, when you start typing, the new
text does appear on the next line (as it should).

However, becuase there is no visual feedback that the 'Return' keypress was
successful, users will probably press it again, resulting the insertion of two
line feeds.

This only occurs at the end of a line that contains text. Pressing the 'Return'
key on an empty line works as expected. This can be seen in the bugzilla
submission form.

There used to be several problems contributing to this bug.  I believe joe fixed
most of them, and 20106 is the only remaining problem.  Assigning to kin, who
can dup this if appropriate.

This is a dup of bug #10683, and has already been fixed. It is already in the
daily builds and should appear in M12.

Verified duplicate of bug 20106, not bug 10683 (which this bug is currently
marked a duplicate of).

[VerifyDay] Update to my previous comment.  The first reported mention of this
bug is in bug 16715, and bug 19405 is also a duplicate, although bug 20106 has
the most comprehensive comments (including the patch that fixes the bug).
