I will attach a testcase which I developed after finding a bug when editing plain text. This testcase shows that the bug isn't in the editor but rather in the wordbreak or linebreak code when encountering empty text nodes. To reproduce: load the attachment/test case enter some text with no spaces in the 3rd editfield (such as "1234567890") press add a few times remove the text in the 3rd editfield press add a few more times (insertion of empty text nodes) enter some text with no spaces in the 3rd editfield (such as "abcdefghijkl") press add a few times until you see a line break between the first set of text and the second set of text expectation: an empty text node should not cause the line to break

erik resign. reassign all his bug to ftang for now.

shanjian- line break issue. Please help to take care

I do not see any problem here. In your reproduce step, you input "123456789" in 3rd edit field, and then add empty text node, and then "abcdefg". Because "123456789" and "abcdefg" are of different category, line/word break might happen. If you just use "aaaa" and "bbbb" and such, you will see that it works fine. Reopen if my understanding is incorrect.

reopen bug until we've clarified... Shanjian--can you explain what you mean by "are of different category"? This can be reproduced by using the same string ("abcdefghijklmnopqrst") with empty text nodes. The text added doesn't really matter, the problem seems to be with the empty text nodes.

brade- how important is this one? is it moz0.9.2 or future?

Without a fix, people might see wierd wrapping while deleting lines in textareas. Several people have already reported this problem. This bug was filed just to prove that the problem exists outside of the editor context. Wrapping content that contained empty text nodes used to work, so something regressed it.

Ok, I reproduced the problem and found out that this is a layout issue. patch will follow soon.

set milstone to 0.9.3. We might want to change it to 0.9.2.

Nice! r=waterson

chris, since you are a super-reviewer, can you give sr as well?
