This is just a first problem , and the second problem is when I change the index of text cursor and make some modification , some letters separate from the next letter like when I make a space between there but Actually I'm not !!!

1. Type an Arabic message like this : http://dc04.arabsh.com/i/00263/c8yogmoc8l8e.png
2. change cursor index and make some edit to text (specially when i add letters)
3. some time the cursor go to first of text area (its happened in Yahoo! mail after i go to compose a new mail )
Actual Results:  
when step 2 applied this result will be happen : http://dc04.arabsh.com/i/00263/1ock09eau121.png


If I select all text the cut & paste it the problem will solved , and this problem happened (So far) just with English interface sites & support Arabic (with UTF-8 encoding) ..

The problem with letters not joining is bug 499358. The problem with the cursor going to the beginning of the text area seems like a separate issue. Can anybody else reproduce it?

No, I tried to reproduce this and failed at doing so.

If I understand it correctly, the cursor problem is *not* a real issue. That happens when the user writes in a textbox before the page finishes loading, and in such cases the cursor may even jump to another textbox that is the first box in the page. I think that is the case here.

* "The problem with letters not joining" happened to me again on Arabic sites too not on English sites as i said before  , it happened with WYSIWYG editors and plan (text area like this box what I wrote this comment) .... 

* "The problem with the cursor going to the beginning of the text area" I monitor it where happen , and this happened when i make a replay or forward and write some additional text to message while page is loading or Generally when and page loading and i writing some text in text box , after the page loaded completely the cursor go to the beginning of the text area...

Then it is as I said. 

The first issue is already solved in bug 499538. 

The second issue is not related to Firefox. I believe it is a common behavior in other browsers too.
