Extra lines added by editor with replies that have quoted text.

[smercurio_fc]

This is an issue that occurs when editing a reply in which you had quoted a previous post (by using the "Quote" button) multiple times in a reply. When you go into editing a reply, the editor seems to think it has to insert at least 2 extra lines between paragraphs. Why? This is extremely annoying, and I often have to resort to switching to HTML view just to fix it correctly since it decides to put the HTML tags in the stupidest place.

Note that this has been occurring for a LONG time for me, so it's not a Firefox 4 issue.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yes, I agree that the rich text editor often does stupid things such as what you mention.

Similar problems are:

• Occasional inability to insert text at a specified location
• Occasional inability to move the insert point with the cursor keys
• Occasional extra deletions (e.g. many times if I remove the tail of a quote, the final horizontal line disappears even if it is not selected)

Usually, a cleanup operation in HTML view is needed.

Ok, I will try to edit this post.

Posting again....

I must be doing this wrong.  Do I need to quote the same item multiple time in the post?

In the above reply you can see that there is an extra line between the quote and "reply 1". It wasn't there when I entered the text. It was "automagically" put in.

I see now.  Thanks! I'll report it.

Sorry, testing this again.

please ignore me.

The editor was upgraded and I suspect that this is no longer an issue.  I can't reproduce it when testing now.  Can you please confirm?

Thanks!
