Emacs key mappings no longer work as they used to (in i686-linux 20001107)...

Ctrl-a was 'go-to-beginning-of-line', is now 'select-all'
Ctrl-k was 'kill-line' (emacs style, if blank line: kill), is now 'kill-line'
       but don't kill blank lines; however
Ctrl-e hasn't changed. It's still 'go-to-end-of-line'

The most annoying feature is that I repeatedly hit C-a C-k (to kill a line from
the beginning), and thus kill my entire buffer.

Are there new keystrokes to move around in the compose window?
I see this in linux trunk build 2000110521 and linux trunk build 2000110708.

Confirming and changing component to editor. (compositor is something entirely
different.)

Reassigning bug to editor owner.

By the way, this may be related to bug 55851, but I don't think it's a dupe...

I'm pretty sure this is a dup of bug 55851. Marking it dup, and adding more
comments there.

Actually, I'm not sure now. Bug 55851 is against MailNews Composition, which
(I'd hope) is using the same stuff as the editor, but I don't know.

This is a dup of a bug that saari has.  Key events aren't getting processed in
the right order.

I personally work around it by using alt as my modifier key (see
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html).

Careful, this bug is and 60614 may be asking for opposite things in certain
scenarios.

This is a dup of bug 57078.  We're trying to fix that one, but other problems
keep getting in the way.  See that bug for details on the current status.  No
point in keeping this one separate.

I don't know what the issue is in bug 60614, but this one and 57078 are general
bindings bugs affecting all text widgets (as well as editor windows).
