Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2010-11-09 17:11:07 PST
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select and copy this whole line in Bugzilla (e.g. via triple-click and Cmd+C).
2. Paste it into additional comments field several times.

There are empty lines between pasted lines, suggesting that two newlines are getting pasted instead of one.

This is rather annoying, I hit this multiple times a day in Bugzilla. This only started to happen time ago - assuming that was Safari 5, but I'm not sure.

CodeMirror (http://codemirror.net) uses a textarea in a way that makes this bug extra visible. I've had several people report it as a bug in CodeMirror in the past few months [1][2][3], and in fact ran into it writing this very comment in the bug tracker.

This seems a serious, obviously reproduceable bug. I hope it's still on someone's list? (Has been sitting idle in the bug tracker for a long time now.)

This is also important for Adobe's Brackets editor.

Maybe caused by http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/55762 ?

Seems possible. I probably didn't consider the impact on plain text by moving to an equivalent visual position.

Typo regression and I think you don't mean to say test twice.
