262635 - improper nesting of lists (ordered ol, unordered ul, definition dl)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 54479

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

when arranging a list hierarchically, the editor places list elements inside
list elements. This is improper for even HTML 4.0 transitional. ul and ol
elements may be placed within an li element, but not within another ul or ol
element. I believe this sloppy nesting is leading to other bugs in maintaining
the proper hierarchical relationships within nested lists.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a new composer document
2.change to a list mode (ul or ol)
3.type an item
4 hit return and enter another item
5 hit returen and enter another item
6.tab to demote the item
Actual Results:  
the list appears as:

<ul><li>an item</li>
<li>another item</li>
<ul><li>another item</li>
</ul>
</ul>

instead of what should be:

Expected Results:  
<ul><li>an item</li>
<li>another item
<ul><li>another item</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
