95503 - highlighting text and hitting spacebar does not delete text

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect, P3)

Description

[shrirang khanzode]

Win NT , build 0815 trunk

steps:
Launch composer
click on  'Show All Tags' in Edit Mode Toolbar
Type a word on the first line
hit ENTER
Type another word on the second line
Now, left-click with mouse right after the last character on the second line
(you should see both the lines highlighted)

Now, hit the SPACEBAR once and see that instead of removing the selected text,
the caret jumps to the beginning of the first word on the first line and moves
the word to the right by one space.

If this is important to someone for 0.9.5, tell me now so I can find another
owner for it. mjudge won't be back until 0.9.6.

Have found that the delete key wont work in this instance as well.  Follow the 
above steps but use the delete key instead of the spacebar.  

The caret jumps to the beginning and deletes the fist letter instead of 
removing the selected text.  Also, if you insert an image before you highlight 
in that same manor, hit delete, the image will delete and the text will remain.

I am having a problem myself with highlighting. It seems no matter how much I
try moving my mouse along and clicking the text won't highlight. My Mozilla
build is 2001121803 and it is version 0.9.7+ this also doesn't work when trying
to copy and paste text to either include into the location bar or just in
general when wanting to copy and paste text.

If this is a bug of the editor module, please add a testcase which blocks to fix this bug.
