677114 - Can't move out of the table cell while pressing the left arrow key in this case.

Status: REOPENED

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

See url for the testcase.
Steps to reproduce:
- Put the caret inside the table cell area.
- Press the left arrow key several times.

Notice how the caret stays in the table cell, no matter how often you press the left arrow key.

This regressed between 2009-06-23 and 2009-06-24:

After that, the caret disappeared completely. Current situation is a little different, now the caret goes to the end of the table cell.
I think this is a regression from bug 495385.

I have tested your issue on latest FF release 46.0.1 and latest Nightly build and could not reproduce it. 

Is this still reproducible on your end ? If yes, can you please retest this using latest FF release and latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and report back the results ? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/PNe90E).
