Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 88164

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[r.navalinskas]

When typing in textarea field (like I'm typing in it now), after pressing
'Enter' to go to new line or separate paragraphs with blank line, cursor goes
somewhere to the top of the textarea and behaves in a very strange way.

i am experiencing similar problems.
my bug applies to TEXTAREAs in html pages as well as the EMAIL COMPOSER window.

1) oddities that apply to both:
when scrolling through text with the R arrow key the cursor stops at manual line
breaks (those i place with the <Enter> key).
it doesn't continue on the next line as expected. 
then, i can still scroll backwards from the last character with the L arrow key.
but if i place the cursor on such a line end with the mouse or the <End> key, it
can't be moved with L + R keys anymore.
where the line wrapped automatically the cursor behaves normally.
analog bug when scrolling backwards with the L arrow key.

2) additional problems with TEXTAREAS:
if i remove a linebreak (<Del> or <Backspace> 'em) the cursor _still_ stops
there ! Even if it's in the middle of a line, if there used to be a line break
the cursor doesn't pass it. no matter if hit from the left or right.

NOTE: i accidently touched the f*****g mousewheel , it scrolled back in the
browser history and the description i was typing on for 1/2 an hour was G O N E
. i had to do it all again.

aha !!! there they are again! my browser is throwing some decent error messages
in the JavaScript Console. maybe they got something to do with this behaviour.
