Up/down arrow key doesn't moves the caret straight.

ABCDEFG
HIJKLMN
OPQRSTU

Put the caret between C and D and hit Down arrow key.
The caret moves to the right of N.
But it should be between J and K.

Observed on Win98 Build 2000090110.
This does happen using 2000082708. Weird.

reassign to myself; need to investigate call to
nsCaret::GetWindowRelativeCoordinates() from nsSelection::FetchDesiredX(); I
don't think we want to take the view into account.

It moves one line down and one char to the right when I first use the mouse down
(one line ip and one char right when pressing up arrow). When I do the same
second time (not clicking with mouse in between) the caret moves as it should.
So it only happens the first time after I click with mouse somewhere within text
and the caret is moved.

Mozilla 2001012220 on Windows 2000 SP1 on PC.
That's not quite correct.

It happens when pressing up or down after all cursor movements except up or down.
This includes mouse click as you said, but also cursor right or left or typing
in some new text. (See my comments in bug 65933.)
fixed (finally!)  Thanks tony, kin, simon!
