196411 - Composer adds extra lines and spaces incrementally when I save a file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97278

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

Each time I save a file in composer, extra lines and spaces get added,
especially between the meta tags. (with each save, the lines between meta tags
increases.)
It also adds lines elsewhere and <br> tags before</body>. The problem is that it
keeps on multiplying with each save. (Setting: Retain orginal source formating.)

It would be nice if composer would display the linked address at the bottom of
the window on mouse over as in Netscape 4.7 so that links could be easily verified. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get http://www.cyberjournalist.org.in/links.html
2.Open in composer, make some changes.
3. Save and save again.

Actual Results:  
Distance between meta tags increases.
<br>s get added before </body> tagh

Expected Results:  
Leave the code unchanged except for the actual changes made.


This problem occurs with Netscape 7.x also.
But not with N 4.7

Since I've just added this bug to the meta bug #174361, I should mark this as
New. However, I may yet change it to a dup.

Comment 3

[Roy Mathew]

Well, it seems that the bug has much to do with switching between the source and
normal view rather than saving.

As per comment #3, marking as dup of Bug #97278
