From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) BuildID: 20010711 When you reply to a mail/news at the spot Moz drops you, you get text wrapping just fine. However, if you back up one line (as I often do.. to get closer to the "> >'s) you do not get wrapping. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reply to a message. 2. At the prompt (which will be at the end) hit backspace untill you're just one line under the end ">" of the quoted text. 3. Start typing. Actual Results: Mozilla will not wrap. Once you hit return, Moz wraps like normal. Expected Results: It is expected that Mozilla will wrap your text as you type, but Mozilla does not. If your start typing where Mozilla positioned you, no problem. But if your backspace up a line or two, to get closer to the quoted text, Mozilla does not wrap.

You need to View Source to see the problem in Mozilla - Mozilla's viewer fixes the long lines, other readers won't be as lucky.

Is this new (less than a week) or has it been there a while? I.e. did the checkin for bug 69638 make this either better or worse? Do you have to be on the line immediately below the quoted material (i.e. no space between the quoted material and your new line)? Might this be related to bugs such as bug 90834 and bug 76359, and coming from the fact that we're showing extra space around a quote so you end up trying to move too close to it and end up inside the quote? See also the old bug 30763, which was similar (an edit rules problem) and we might be seeing a resurgence of this.

Actually, after the checkin for bug 69638, quotes should be wrapping too (though that's a bug and I hope to fix it soon). BTW, if you suspect an interaction with bug 69638, you can revert to the previous behavior by setting the pref editor.quotesPreformatted to true (temporarily, while we're testing this feature). It would be useful to know how that affects the behavior described in this bug.
