1 Open Composer
2 Add a few items to a bulleted list
3 Keep the last item blank (do not enter any text and just leave the bullet   
there)
4 Save the File and Reopen in Composer
5 Now, click with mouse in the last (empty) bullet item
6 Press the BACKSPACE key on keyboard (expecting that the bullet item gets   
deleted and cursor goes to the earlier item's last character)
7 Observe that as soon as you hit Backspace, the last item shifts down by a line 
and cursor stays there. Pressing Backspace again brings the last item back to 
where it was and moves the caret to the last-but-one item's first character.

Oh God ! This is showing something different now (0514 trunk on windoz). I used 
kathy's testcase(2001-02-19 08:43). What I see is..after step6 , hitting 
backspace once does nothing..hitting it again does nothing..then hitting 
backspace the third time moves the caret to the earlier item (keeping the last 
item intact).

+    if (rect.width) 
Would prefer
+    if (rect.width > 0) 
just to make it obvious that you didn't botch or make a typo and meant to compare 
a pointer to null.

otherwise, r/sr=sfraser
