I tested this on the 9-19 build on an iMac DV running OS 9.1. The text no longer duplicates itself after having the color changed, however undo - still deletes all the text AND hitting redo does not replace text. Also after the composer has reached this state - the cursor disapears and can't be placed in the composer window. Here are the steps to reproduce this: 1. Launch Netscape/Open a blank composer window 2. type in enough text so that it wraps once on the screen (I typed: "this is a line of text long enough so that is wraps to the next line" and pasted it in three times) 3. Hit Apple+A to select all 4. go to the color picker and select a new color 5. Highlight a single word on the second line of text 6. go to the color picker and change it to a new color 7. go to edit and hit undo *PROBLEM* All the text and the cursor disapear from the main composer window. If I switch to HTML view the tags for the original text have been replaced, but will not display on the normal tab. I can type in the HTML tab, but cannot get the cursor back in the normal tab. I was able to reproduce this with much less text by shrinking the window to make it wrap. Please let me know if this needs to be added to another bug since this was marked duplicate.

sounds like a core problem; changing summary to match current problem This still sounds like some kind of frames issue like in bug #84645 but I'll let Kin investigate to be sure.

I can't repro this in my 10/04/01 Trunk build. I think brade is correct that this was due to the same thing that caused bug 84645 ... which will not be fixed on the MOZILLA_0_9_4_BRANCH. I'll close/dup this bug after I verify that it still exists on the MOZILLA_0_9_4_BRANCH.

I can't see either problems reported by TucsonTest1 or BaxterJS in my 10/26/01 Mozilla debug Trunk builds. I think I'm going to mark this WORKSFORME. Reopen if you still see the problem, and please be specific as to what build/branch and date you are using.
