#5375 closed Bug (fixed)

Cursor in the wrong position when you delete an Empty Paragraph

Reported by: Satya Minnekanti Owned by: Garry Yao
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: General Version: 3.0
Keywords: IBM Confirmed Cc: joek, Damian

Description

To reproduce the defect

  1. Open Ajax sample and Type the text as shown below

This is a paragraph 1.

<empty paragraph>

This is a paragraph 2.

  1. If I put my cursor at the end of paragraph 1 and press the delete key, it deletes the empty paragraph as it should, but it moves the cursor to the beginning of paragraph 1.

Expected Result:

We believe the expected behavior is for the cursor to stay at the end of paragraph 1.

if the paragraph is not an empty paragraph, the cursor behavior is correct.

This issue has been with us for a long time. I've confirmed it with CKEditor 3.0. No one has reported it until now, so it doesn't look like a drastic issue.

Because of this, and considering that this is a browser bug, I would instead wait for Mozilla to give us a position regarding the problem. I've opened the following issue at their side:

The test case provided in the mozilla bug report has different results inside CKEditor than without it.

This test case results in the cursor moving to the beginning of Line B. https://bug554886.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=434839

In CKEditor the cursor goes to the beginning of Line A.

This is has become a more serious issue because we now have specific plugins that work on the contents and rely on more accurate cursor positioning. One of the side affects reported is that the following code:

editor.getSelection().getRanges()[0].startContainer

returns "body" instead of "paragraph" after the test case.
