When editing in a textarea box ( like the one used to fill out this bug ) if I
position the cursor in the middle of a line of text and hit return I expect that
a newline to be inserted.  It isn't.  However, the character is inserted because
if I use the arrow keys to move forwards and backwards through the text you have
to hit the arrow key twice to get past the linefeed character.  Also, if you hit
return at the end of the text area it should move the cursor down to the next
line.  That doesn't work either.  Build is from 2001/02/02 about 2am eastern time.
See it on Win2000 as well.
also happened with buildid 2001020120 on win98

anthonyd's change in

    mozilla/layout/html/document/src/nsHTMLContentSink.cpp  revision 3.406

is causing the problem. Backing it out fixes things.
Leaf says this is a blocker.

I backed out the change in nsHTMLContentSink.cpp. This should be fixed now.
