194932 - Input cursor behaves jumps to beginning when using backspace and deleting last character in message field

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 194774

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Max Gordon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030224
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030224

When using backspace on in my mail-composer to delete the last character in the
paragraph the cursor jumps to beginning of the paragraph. The cursor is just
visualized there at the beginning of the line, the functionality is still at the
end (by this I mean that if I write another character or try to move the cursor
in any other way than backspace it will behave as still located at the end of
the line).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the compose mail window
2. Go to the message box
3. Write any word and delete the last character by using backspace

Actual Results:  
This will result in that the cursor appears at the beginning of the line

Expected Results:  
The cursor should stay at the end of the line

I have installed the spell checking package, perhaps this interferes with the
input? I can't believe that I'm the first to discover this error... I've
installed the spell checking for english and swedish, if that matters.

As you guessed, not the first.
