User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122

When I try to change selection inside of DidXXX handler of nsIEditActionListener
interface then I'm fail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In instance you can try to execute next code line in DidInsertText() handler:

editor.getEditor(editor.contentWindow).selection.removeAllRanges();

Selection should not be removed.

If you will try to execute the same code by using setTimeout() method then
selection will be removed.


Expected Results:  
Selection should be changed after calling of WillXXX method and before calling
of DidXXX.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

confirm for Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007112920 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre.

I'm not sure whether this is intentional behavior but I suppose when DidInsertText is called then selection should have been changed.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
