282826 - Cursor doesn't move to new line when entering blanks at the end of the line into muliline-textarea

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[Klaus Korb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

Depending on the entered text, I sometimes see the cursor doesn't move to the
next line in multiline textareas. With a given text and give textarea, the
problem is reproducable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter the following text in the textarea "Message":
The quick brown Firefox jumps over the lazy dogs leg. The quick brown Firefox
jumps over the lazy dogs
2. Now the cursor is near the end of the first line. By entering 1 blank, the
cursor is at the end of the line.
3. By entering one more blank, the cursor moves back directly behind the "s".
Entering more blanks doesn't move the cursor, while the blanks are still stored
in the textarea. If you copy/paste the whole textarea into notepad, you can see
the entered Blanks

Actual Results:  
Cursor does't move by entering blanks.

Expected Results:  
Cursor should move to the next line by entering the second blank.

Using Windows 98 SE
German Version of Firefox (think that doesn't matter)
Qute theme (shouldn't matter, too)

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