Build ID: 20160407164938
Steps to reproduce:
Create and edit email message. Mouse around and do typical edits and typing. Editor might suddenly change behaviour without rhyme or reason.
[ NL = New line, NP = New paragraph ]
Actual results:
Does not work consistently or predictably:
- Sometimes pressing enter at end of current paragraph moves the entire current paragraph down (by one paragraph) instead of inserting new-paragraph at end of line. (Seems to occur after inserting something or backspacing.)
- Sometimes pressing enter at end of current paragraph splits the entire current paragraph into two paragraphs.
- Sometimes switches mode during the session such that pressing ENTER suddenly always inserts NL instead of NP.
- When backspacing in a section (paragraph) of multiple lines (NL terminations), sometimes removing a NL works for the current line and inserts a NP at the next line. Removing that NP converts it to a NL and inserts NP at next line, repeatable for as long as the sequence of lines.
- Typing text and pressing enter to add NP, then CTRL-Z to undo the NP, undoes the entire previous text too!
- Pasting something at end of a line always inserts NL first (I first noticed this on previous version 38 too). Used to be able to just paste (append) onto end of the text.
Expected results:
<< Expectations are sometimes included above in Actual >>
<< Some expectations are obvious by definition in Actual >>
Enter at end of current paragraph...
-- Should never split current paragraph or affect any preceding text.
When backspacing in a section...
-- I expect backspace to remove immediately preceding character only, without changing format of subsequent lines.
Typing text and pressing enter to add NP, then CTRL-Z to undo...
-- I would expect NP to signal start of a new undo block, such that CTRL-Z would undo only the NP. A second CTRL-Z would undo previous item(s), and so on.
