287723 - Home-select grabs data from prior line in drafts

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Michael Baffoni]

I have some emails that I work on over the week, and save periodic copies into
drafts.  Sometimes (not all instances) when I do a shift-home selection of a
line, instead of just selecting the line I am on, it also selects the text on
the line above it.

To reproduce (intermittant, not always):
1) compose a message with multiple lines of text (I don't know if this is
relevent, but it always seems to happen on lines that start with a tab).
2) Save the message and close the window
3) Open the draft and move the cursor to the end of the line of text.
4) Type shift-home to select the line of text.

What happens: The line you are on plus the line above it is selected.
Expected behavior: Only the line you are on should be selected.

Thunderbird 1.0 and 1.02(version 1.0.2 (20050317)).  Also happened with
SeaMonkey 1.6-1.7.5.

odd, one line testcase makes no sense to me. But steps WFM.

Michael, please update bug - retest and supply new testcase if you still see this, or close bug.
