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 you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
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.
Severity: major → trivial
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Summary: Multi--line edit can't wrap problem → Text cursor placed incorrectly in multi-line edit box
A. The date the bug report was submitted.
B. Notice what version the bug was reported on.
C. Compare the difference to bug from origin date to now.
D. Know that this report is marked a deplicate of bug 104674, and countless others.
E. Not being able to do basic word wrapping in a text box *is* major.
F. Bug is mostly resoved now.
;)

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.
