36183 - Spaces don't wrap as they do in NN or IE textareas

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19265

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail]]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; m14) Gecko/20000417
BuildID:    M14; also occurs in 2000041708

In Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer textareas, a wrapped line will never
begin with a space. However, in Mozilla a wrapped line will begin with a space
if the line wraps at the last column.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. You need a textarea with wrap, such as "Additional Comments".
2. Type until the text is on the point of wrapping, then type a space.	
3. Alternatively, just type lots of spaces until the line wraps.


Actual Results:  The space will appear on the next line.

Expected Results:  NN and IE don't display the space.	

A couple of regressions I noticed in build 2000041708:

The TAB key inserts into a textarea as well as changing the focus.

The SPACE key sometimes scrolls the page. Clicking on the page and then in the
textarea makes this happen. Tabbing (but not shift-tabbing) stops this happening.

This is a DUP of bug 19265, "[TEXT] Word-wrap improperly breaks before space 
following last word", M17.

The other issues mentioned already have specific bug reports.
