* SUMMARY
When replying to message in Gmail, the caret is removed from message body when you start to type. This reproduces only when Safari-521.33.tar.gz is installed over Leopard9A357.


* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. With TOT (Leopard)  or Safari-521.33.tar.gz installed over Leopard9A357, login into Gmail.
2. Click on a message in your gmail inbox. Then click "Reply" link.
3. When the message opens, notice the caret is correctly displayed in the message body
4. Now start to type. Notice the caret is removed for the message body field.
5. Clicking in the message body does insert the caret again but this is just a extra step for the user.

* RESULTS
Caret should remain in message body when typing in a reply but doesn't

* REGRESSION
Yes, this works in stock Leopard 9A357.

This also occurs on TOT (Tiger) r19371, r12016.

This regressed between r19312 and r19336.

Adele, you made some changes in r19313 that look suspicious.  Could you look at this?

I can no longer reproduce this in TOT. Can someone else confirm?

[Adele Peterson]

Ah, this only occurs in their rich editing mode
