223276 - Wrap column extended near end of text (at user-typed newline)

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Compose a message containing a line that approaches the wrap point (assume 72).  
Use this line as a baseline for starting the typing; the space following the 
last 9 is in column 70:

123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 

Then, a line which is typed:
...123456789 ab cde                <- 'b' in col.72, 'e' in col. 76
will wrap at between the 'ab' and 'cde' in the compose window, but will be 
transmitted as shown: the source text of the message extends to column 76.

However, a line which is typed:
...123456789 ab cde fg     -- or even --
...123456789 ab cde        <- with a space after 'cde' before the line end
will be wrapped at the same point, but transmitted with the wrapping as seen in 
the window.

Expected results: the line in the first case should be transmitted with the 
appropriate wrap, and no (printable) text should extend beyond column 72.

With a wrap column of 72, the extended wrap column is 76; with a wrap column of 
62, the extended wrap column is 66.  This behavior is true whether format=flowed 
(mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed) is true or false.  (There is a slight 
difference in that, with f=f enabled, if the first line is wrapped, it ends with 
"...123456789 ab " -- a final space for f=f in column 73.  I don't consider that 
a problem.)

The first symptom described in my report is bug 173471.

(The dupe in comment 1 was my error...)

Why there is no remedy or activity for this bug?

Comment 5

[Giles Puckett]

Have often edited text containing CR's, by inserting stuff in mid-line and
replacing the CR's, and when sent, some of my inserted CR's are missing.
Have not explored exact circumstances that trigger bug but it very
annoying.
