Hi,
When trying to include nsTextEditorState.h in a file which does not include (directly or indirectly nsString.h), compilation fails:

A good practice that helps avoid problems of this sort is to make each class-specific .h file the first #include in its .cpp file.  In other words, if nsTextEditorState.h were the first #include in nsTextEditorState.cpp, this wouldn't have happened.
