(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[jeremy]

Attachment: firefoxBRs.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

Using Firefox 7.0.1.
Case 1
1.  Create a contenteditable iframe.
2.  Create and append a span element to the iframe body.
3.  Show the innerHTML

Case 2
1.  Set the innerHTML of the iframe body to a span tag with content.
2.  Show the lastNode of the iframe body to be a span.
3.  Iterate and remove the children of the iframe body showing the tag removed.
4.  Show the lastChild of the returned document fragment.


Actual results:

Case 1:  A BR tag prefixes the span tag and is shown in the innerHTML alert.
Case 2:  A BR tag is appended to the returned document fragment.


Expected results:

Case 1:  No BR tag should have been appended.
Case 2:  No BR tag should exist and therefore should not be appended or found during iteration of nodes.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
