83097 - textarea wrap shows extra space at start of certain lines

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19265

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Greg Ward]

I have a form with the following <textarea> element:

<textarea name="comment" cols=60 rows=15 wrap="physical"></textarea>

As I type text into the <textarea>, it wraps correctly.  However, if a
particular line is the maximum lenth -- 59 characters, apparently -- then the
following line is mysteriously indented by one space.  It looks as though the
space that I typed that causes line-wrapping to happen is being shown to me.

Here's what it looks like in that cols=60 textarea:

This is a long piece of text entered into a textarea without
 ever hitting enter. I'm just curious to see how Mozilla
wraps text (in the UI, not in the submitted text). It looks
 like when line i has exactly 59 characters (this is a
COLS=60 textarea), line i+1 starts with a spurious space.

Note that lines 1 and 3 are exactly 59 characters long (not including the
line-breaking space).

duplicate.

Greg Ward--what build are you using?

This is with Mozilla 20010524 on Linux (Progeny Debian 1.0, kernel
2.2.19, libgtk 1.2.10).  I've been seeing this bug for a while -- I think since
Mozilla 0.8, which is when I started using Mozilla seriously.
