Details

Using M16 on Win98.

Create new composer document, add a bunch of paragraphs, one or two 
headings--doesn't matter, just some content. Then do:

a) select something, click Anchor on the toolbar. The "suggested" default value 
for the name of the anchor is the entire document. EXPECTED: Contents 
of selection.

b) no selection. Click Anchor on the toolbar. The "suggested" default value for 
the name of the anchor is the entire document. EXPECTED: I don't know what to 
expect, but I don't want my entire HTML document crammed in that text box. 
Working on a 26k HTML document, Mozilla stops showing the contents of the edit 
box, so I have to somewhat blindly erase the contents (Shift-Ctrl-End, Delete) 
of the textbox before I can type in an anchor name.

The same behavior was observed with an older M15 nightly.

I don't see this problem -- it used to happen (bug 39528) but that was 
fixed recently by mjudge. Is your tree up to date?

Ehh, apprently this slipped into M16. 

Anyway, I just tested this with a 6/23 nightly. It doesn't have this problem, so 
I'm marking this VERIFIED.
