STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Type a line of text long enough to wrap. 2. Press Left Arrow. EXPECTED RESULTS Caret should be in between the penultimate and last character on the last line of text. ACTUAL RESULTS Caret goes to the beginning of the first line!

I can *reliably* reproduce this on a CVS tip Linux optimised build running on Mandrake 8.1. REOPENing. This is one of the most annoying things about Mozilla right now as far as I am concerned. Please tell me how I can help track this down. Note: Sometimes, instead of the cursor jumping to the start of the first line, it disappears altogether.

Note: I'm seeing this is in the <textarea> plain text editor. See bug 122879.
This only happens in builds with --enable-ctl set.

Enables the complex text layout rendering mode, used for Thai and other languages with very complex rendering rules.
Giving to prabhat since he also has bug 122879.

Is this still an issue in current trunk build?

Hey Hixie,
Can you still reproduce this issue or should we close it?
