User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041206
Build Identifier: mozilla 1.8a6

in mozilla 1.8a6, html entities like < and > are not "decoded" when inside
of <textarea>s.  this worked correctly for all earlier versions, including
1.7.5, 1.8a5, and firefox 1.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. display this text in 1.8a6:
<html>
<head></head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<form name=f>
<textarea name=t rows=3 cols=80>&lt;a
href="http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"&gt;&lt;img src="http://qqqqqqqqqqqqqq"
alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&lt;</textarea></form>
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:  
displays in textarea like this:
&lt;a href="http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"&gt;&lt;img src="http://qqqqqqqqqqqqqq"
alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&lt;

Expected Results:  
should display like this with html entities "decoded" (as in all earlier versions):
<a href="http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><img src="http://qqqqqqqqqqqqqq" alt=""
/></a>

thanks, although it was broken in the 1.8a6 release for windows, i just
downloaded the latest nightly and this does seem to be fixed (i should have done
that before submitting). sorry for wasting your time.
