This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

I can confirm the error, but the bug summary is misleading and the severity is a joke. Reporter, how exactly do you define a "major" bug? :) If you fill out a line of text with spaces until the cursor reaches the edge of the multi-line edit box, the cursor appears at the end of the text, as if no spaces existed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Place the cursor in a multi-line edit box, for example, the Additional Comments box on this page. 2. Hold down the space key to fill the first line with spaces until it reaches the right edge of the edit box.

It isn't Check the bug activity. This bug has never been duplicated, but thanks for enlighting me that it's a dupe. There are 3 other dupes of bug 104674. > E. Not being able to do basic word wrapping in a text box *is* major. This bug has nothing to do with basic word wrapping, it's about a small bug making the cursor /appear to/ move back to the last non-space character. It doesn't affect word wrapping. > F. Bug is mostly resoved now. The bug, as reported, still exists. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 104674 ***
