2001021720 NT Open the document I'm about to attach for editing. Place the cursor at the first line after the centered date (so it's blinking right after the "01") Now hit return to go to the next line. Hit the left align button. Expected behavior is that the cursor is now at the left margin on the second line. Instead, the cursor is now at the end of the previous line as if I had backspaced. It takes a lot of effort to get it so that the centered date stays centered and that the next line starts at the left.

nominating for beta 1 because it shouldn't be this much effort to use left align.

assigning to jfrancis

it was part of our design criteria for align to try and annoy the user. However, we are rethinking that now...

the text string is within a <DIV ALIGN=CENTER>, if the caret is placed jsut after the 01, and immediately select left align, the caret moves back up to the previous line, however, if you type text first, then it algins to the left without any problems.

kin, i beleive this bug is a dup of the problem you looked into about the selection jumping outside a new list. just an fyi.

this bug shows up in a lot of different places, changing title. attached patch fixes it. another common test case is type "xxxx", put cursor in middle of "xxxx", hit return, and then make list. without my patch list is made but caret is not in it. need r=,sr=
