Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) BuildID: 2001091303 When hitting enter amidst a normal (non-quoted) line, everything's fine. But when inside of quoted lines it's going awry: additional empty lines are added and deletion malfunctions (see reproduction below) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: * use text mode editor. * answer a message/posting with quoting it * move into a quoted line (starting with >), don't choose first position * hit enter: the line will be split, but an additional empty line will be inserted in between and get the caret * enter > at the beginning of this empty line * hit DEL (*not* backspace!) once: nothing happens * hit DEL a second time: the first character of the *next* line is killed, not the line end. The caret moves to the next line. Actual Results: (see above) Expected Results: When hitting enter, a line break is inserted at the caret position. The next line starts with the remainder of the previous line after the caret. The caret is now at the beginning of the new line. Maybe related to bugs #67391 or #92686.

I see this one in mozilla 0.9.8 too. Could it be that platforms use different characters to generate line breaks (CRLF vs CR)? I see this ONLY when I reply to messages.
