Self-explanatory Example of two errors in Composer --

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><head></head>
<body marginwidth="66">Line One<br>
<ul>
  <li>Error One -- When unbolding this <b>WORD</b> a blank line will be inserted
below, in error.... <br>
.<br>
Line 2 -- (The above effect can be toggled on/off by clicking on the "<b>B</b>"
button)<br>
.<br>
Line 3 --&nbsp; (The above error occurs when the text fits on a <i><b>single
</b></i>line)<br>
.</li>
  <li>Error Two --&nbsp; When doubleclicking on this <b>WORD </b>when it is
bolded the selection (hili) will extend past the following "when",&nbsp; in
error.......<br>
.<br>
Line 22<br>
.</li>
  <li>Indent Three --<br>
.<br>
    <br>
  </li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
</body></html>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the example in Composer (as html source)
2. Follow the instructions in the text of the example
3.

Actual Results:  
Actual results are described in the text of the example.

Expected Results:  
1.  No erroneous insertion of an extraneous blank line
2.  No selection (hili) erroneously extending and including the next word
Thanks for trying to do a testcase. Next time, just upload it in attachment
instead of pasting the code.
General rule in bugzilla is to report distinct, separate bugs into single,
separate, distinct bug reports.

I can not reproduce the insertion of an extraneous blank line.
Mozilla 1.8a5 build 2004100504 under XP Pro SP2 here.

Regarding the double-click to select a node, I get the results you get (the
following "when" word is also selected, highlighted).

If the code is
this <b>WORD </b>when ..., then I get the actual results but 
if the code is
this <b>WORD</b> when ..., then I get the expected results.

The correct way to code is to delimit only the text node like this: 
this <b>WORD</b> when

I still need to verify if there are any duplicate of the bug.
