Textarea font not fixed-width, ctrl-d deletes past textarea!

In mozilla build 2001082708, but NOT 2001080814, text in textarea boxes is shown
using the proportional font (Times, on my case) rather than the fixed-width font
(Courier, in my case). This is annoying if you're trying to input
column-formatted text, and is inconsistent with NS4 and most other browsers.
<p>
But the REALLY bad bug is that if you go to the end of the text in the textarea
box and hit ctrl-d (which deletes the char to the right of the cursor), you
delete characters from the rest of the web page, OUTSIDE THE TEXTAREA! You can
delete most or all of a webpage this way. Maybe I'm weird, but I found this
behavior utterly hilarious.
<p>
Since both of these behaviors occurred after I upgraded from 2001080814 to
2001082708, and since both involve textareas, I suspect they're related. I
suspect this is related to a bugfix somewhere, but I can't find it.
<p>

Alright, I'm having trouble including an attachment, so here's a textual
description:
Reproducibility: always
Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on textarea box below "Additional comments" in
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97196.
2. Type in "This is a test."
3. Press and hold ctrl-d.
Results:
Step 2: Text appears in proportional font in textarea.
Step 3: Widgets and text beyond textarea ([X] Leave as UNCONFIRMED) are deleted.
After deleting parts of the bug report form and then submitting it,
Bugzilla.mozilla.org complained about a missing keyword of some sort (I forget
what).
Expected results:
Textarea font should be fixed-width (courier)
Deletion should not progress beyond textarea.
Yeah it's a dup, my patch for 96604 covers both Delete and Backspace.
