Marking nsbeta1+ per syd. Need to fix for composer usability.

issue still present in mac os x build 2001121805

Build 2001121803 It seems when the first line of text is anything other then body text aligned to the left (aligned to the center, right, justified, blockquote, indent, or lists) Composer wants to add a new line at the top, but the line only takes up half the space until you click any key (spacebar or enter some text). If you hit the spacebar once and save the file again when you reopen it you will see the whole caret in the upper left corner, but you will also have an extra line at the top of the page.

minusing, no data loss, user can click into the list and keep going. No evidence of incorrect behaviour after that point.

seek retriage on this since many users seem to run into this problem (some on a very regular basis) users with a list as the first thing in their document will notice this issue every time they open their file (or when they switch from html source to another tab)

this is not a bug in my opinion. this is the best solution to the problem of "how do I insert stuff in front of this list!?". When we start out we insert character before the list content. this is the only real way to insert stuff before this list. I dont see how this could be that serious of a problem for people. they hit right arrow or down or type stuff they get what they expect. The only thing odd here is that it is not of normal size. (this is because it is trying to draw on a frame that has 0 size) If we force the caret to go to the first list item people will complain that they cant get in front of it. In 4.x we automatically inserted lines before the document in this case to make sure people could click there. the problem is that modified their document with just opening and saving. people were real mad about that remember? Please let this bug go.

note to self: think about letting backspacing thru first list item get us out.

EDITORBASE+ per EDITORBASE triage, expected behaviour is the caret should be placed inside the list.

I made backspacing thru first li give u blank line in bug 161723. so this bug is about the funky caret again.

using a current trunk build, I am unable to reproduce the behavior as described in the initial entry. If I follow Sujays steps, the caret does not flip to the upper-left. However, I can get the 1/2 caret to appear, just not consistently.

I cant reproduce this at all. now the caret shows up inside the first element every time. If I dont get some more info on how to reproduce this i am going to mark this works for me or fixed or somethin.

Ok, I can reproduce this one, try this: 1. open a browser window, select to display the Netscpae home page 2. select to edit the page 3. there is an empty table on the top of the page, used as a spacer. 4. set focus in the table, right-mouse and select to delete the table. The caret will be pushed up to the top left and will be partially hidden. I will try to reduce the test case.
