77440 - caret jumps to top of text after deleting selected paragraph

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 67847

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[Andreas Premstaller]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.8.1+)
Gecko/20010424
BuildID:    2001042404

After deleting a marked paragraph with the delete-key, the cursor does not
remain in the line where it was before the delete-operation, but jumps to the
top of the text.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. produce some paragraphs of text
2. mark one paragraph in the middle, including the end of the paragraph
3. press delete-key

Actual Results:  The selected text is deleted, the cursor jumps to the top of
the document. 

Expected Results:  The selected text is deleted, the cursor remains at the
beginning of the (former) selection.

I see this with the message composer window (html-mode) and in composer.

Joe recently made a change which might have fixed this.
Andreas--can you please retest with a newer build?

setting to moz0.9.2

the odd thing here is if I select the text and hit delete I get what is 
reported, if I select the text and then select Edit|Delete it works correctly. I 
tried this on win32 using the build from 2-May-2001

I wonder if this is related to my drag&drop bug (bad caret position).  Confirming 
bug based on beppe's comments.

I think this is a dup of bug 67847, "Deleting selected text in message compose 
makes caret go to beginning of message".

Marking as duplicate.
However, what about the target milestone, this one has 0.9.2, 67847 has 1.0?
