433504 - Extra newlines appear when typing a Gmail message

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Lyle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

Sometimes when a newline is entered and then typing occurs, an extra newline appears that wasn't entered.  This might be a bug in GMail, so it might not be FFX-related.  It should probably be looked into anyway.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into GMail
2. Start composing a new mail.
3. Go to the end of the current line.  Make sure you're at the end of the line by pressing the arrow key a couple extra times (this might be causing the bug)
4. Hit "Enter".
5. Start typing a new line of text.
Actual Results:  
2 newlines were added between the text before the Enter key and the text after.

Expected Results:  
Only a single newline should be added.

Default settings; FFX extensions: Rikaichan (inactive) and NoScript.
