Build Date & Platform:NT4.0 and Linux, build 042608 Description: In Mail select the New Message button, click onto the message body and type some text and press the space bar. As soon as the space bar is pressed then apprunner freezes. I can reproduce this on my NT4 and Linux system.

RE: win32 on win_nt 4.0 and Linux 2.0 (both are dated 1999-04-26-08) The behavior is inconsistent. Three out of five times I was able to type text and send. On Linux, it crashes once out 3 times when type text and hit space bar. Both win_nt 4.0 and Linux showed that: any text typed after the square will not be displayed in the received message (Please refer to bug 5384)

Sounds like an editor issue. Reassigning to kostello.

Icky. M5 (pretty please?)

Steve, sorry about the last minute change. Could you please look at this bug for M5. Thanks, Greg

here is a reproducable test case that does not involve mail. 1. apprunner -editor 2. Ctrl-A 3. Del 4. type one character 5. type space The problem is nsHTMLEditRules::NextNodeInBlock is always returning the node it was passed in. This causes nsHTMLEditRules::IsNextCharWhitespace into an infinite loop. I think this can be fixed with a simple check for node!=aNode: line 989: if (node && IsTextOrElementNode(node) && (node != blockParent) && (node!=aNode)) but I want to talk to Joe about it before I check it in. Also, I think Joe should do a code review of any similar code he's written to make sure this case isn't lurking somewhere else.

Since there is a case of this that does not involve mail, changing QA contact to sujay.

Adding to QA Blocker radar.

still haven't heard from Joe, so I'm going to check in my change, and let him take it from there. Please code review. If that's it, just mark this fixed. If it's the wrong fix or more work needs to get done, then it's all yours.
