From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010920 BuildID: 2001092021 Sometimes, when pressing the Down arrow key on the last line of the text in a multi-line text area (<textarea> in HTML), a newline is inserted. This is not visible however, until the next character is typed. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: This sequence is always reproducible for me: 1. Go to an empty textarea on any web page (like this bug report page). 2. Click into textarea, and press the follwing five keys: x <Return> x <Down arrow> x Actual Results: The text in the textarea now looks like this: x x x Expected Results: The text should look like this: x xx If you look closely, you can see that the caret moves one pixel to the right when the Down arrow key is pressed. And if the form is submitted, the added newline is _not_ included in the text, which makes this look like a display problem.
