Details

The example file http://gair.firstpr.com.au/public-files/mozbug-cursor/t1.html shows an instance where adding a space to the end of the line in a table cell extends the table, but does not move the cursor. Tested on build 2002071608 on Win2k. I don't have an easy set of steps to reproduce this file from scratch. I found it in something I was writing, which was indented by one, and I copied it to another file to generate this test file. Repeatedly pressing the space bar adds a series of spaces and non-breaking spaces, with the cursor moving two spaces every second space which is added. I often find anomalous cursor movement at the end of lines. Here is a robust example. At one stage, I thought that by altering the HTML Source from: <td valign="top">Calibation<br> </td> to: <td valign="top">Calibation<br></td> then trying to add the space would lead to a totally different result: the cursor flying to below the table. This definitely happened, but there must have been something else I did, because I was unable to reproduce it. - Robin
