I cannot delete text that is in <p> </p> tags.
The editor just struggled on selection and deletion,
something is up with <p>.

You usually write good bugs, chris, but this isn't one of them!  I don't know
what you mean by "struggles"  Everything works fine on NT.  Could it be
Sun-specific?  Sujay, can you work with Chris to find a reproducable test case?

Comment 2

[Chris McAfee]

I was unable to select a <p></p> clause so i could delete it.
The cursor would not move forward past this block either,
lemme try this again and get a better test case.

Comment 4

[Chris McAfee]

Ok i'll take this one back for a better test case.

start up the editor, place the cursor at the end of
the default content and try to delete everything.
You can't, it stumbles over tables, bullets kinda delete, etc.

This is what I would do when editting someone's HTML mail.
Back to buster.

I think Joe has already fixed the majority of these problems.  I'm assigning it
to him.  Joe, ping Chris if you need more details about the bug.  Sujay, I doubt
this is Sun specific.  All platforms?

Chris, are trying to delete via backspacing through the content, or by selecting
it and then deleting?  I cant tell from your description, and it makes a
difference.
