Any characters beyond this on the end of the line are left in their origianl position on the page. After a few lines this may auto-correct. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set composer to reply above quoted text 2.Reply to a mail message with lines longer than your reply line length 3.Type in a multi-line reply Actual Results: As in Description Expected Results: Quoted lines of any length should be pushed down the page uniformly. There seem to be general but intermittent problems with the redisplay of the mail window when obscuring windows are deleted. This may or may not be related.

Confirming this and added regression keyword. It appears to be while replying in plaintext format only and looks terrible. Here's a screenshot showing the effects.

This is a multi-platform bug; it also happens on Mac OS X 10.1.1, with Mozilla 0.9.6. Annoying.

reassign to editor core

I had commented on one of the other "marked as duplicate threads" about the "fix" that caused this. It had to do with line ending treatments.

Happens to me frequently. Garbage disappears after repainting the composition window.

I can no longer reproduce this bug in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020206. FIXED? pi

Can we mark this bug RESOLVED-WORKSFORME ? does it work for everyone?

Seems to work fine for me! (Windows 2000) Thank god, this bug has been really annoying.

based on latest comments, seems to be working for a few folks. REOPEN if someone is able to reproduce the problem...

Works for me too - linux 2.2.16 redhat 7.0 intel. It seems to have been fixed by extending the wrap boundary for the message editor to the edge of the window. Neat solution.
