Details

This is another weird one... Here are the steps to reproduce it. 1. Type anything on a single line in a textarea. 2. Highlight all the text using CTRL+A 3. Copy the text using CTRL+C 4. Move the caret using the right arrow key (no mouse). 5. Insert a space and it will go to a new line. Don't think this is desired behaviour so reported it as a bug, no need for a testcase because it only involves a textarea.
Reproduced in: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060624 Minefield/3.0a1 ID:2006062405 Step 3 is not necessary.In step 5, you can type any character, not necessarily a space.

Actually, this is probably the same as bug 125766 (which describes the special case of pressing Enter in step 5).

I suppose the only reasonable way to fix this would be by fixing bug 240933.
Depends on: 240933
