deleting list items
1.52 KB, text/html
Details 
Have tried to use composer to create lists eg.

1. line 1
2. line 2
3. line 3

I am having difficulty trying to remove a line I currently have an email saved
which has the structure


1. text
2. text
3. text

1.

I cant remove the second 1. If I click on the add/remove numbered list I get

1.
    1.

There seems to be no way of removing it.

Having found the format menu and looking in list the line with a 1. in it has a
. against none, indicating it is not a list item, though it clearly has a one
against it.

please attach the html source for your testcase.  Otherwise this is a WORKSFORME.

This is what I see in the e-mail message from S A Jarrett-Sprague:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<font face="Helvetica, foo, sans-serif">Hi<br>
<br>
<br>
<big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">This is the email with the
strange list I can't delete. What I expect should happen is I should be on
line 1. or 2. and clicking on the apply or remove bullet item should delete
the item.<br>

sans-serif">

Bug Reporter--could you please describe how you got to this point?  Are you able 
to recreate in Composer with an empty page?

It works as designed.  He is only having trouble with the last list item, I bet.  
That's because it looks empty, but is not. It contains a bunch of breaks.

There may be a real bug here somewhere - for instance, there may be a bug that is 
leaving too many br's behind when deleting things in list items that caused him 
to get into this state.  But given this state, the list behavior is working as 
intended.  This is so you can make another list inside a list tiem if you have 
other block seperators (like a <p>, or a <br>, etc) in it.
