Opera: Enter at the end of paragraph doesn't move the caret

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

1. Load sample01.html;
2. Place the cursor at the end of the paragraph;
3. Hit <Enter>.

The cursor will move to the start of the paragraph. The new paragraph is created in any case (just use the keyboard to move to it).

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

This is definitely a showstopper. I'm trying to understand it, raising priority meanwhile.

This one seams to be related to Opera's bug 260814:
​https://bugs.opera.com/show_bug.cgi?id=260814

It seams that it is not possible to programmatically place the selection inside an empty tag (not even with a <br> inside it).

The following change in the code (at r253) shows that the caret is correctly placed if we have some text in the paragraphs created with enter.

So, it seams that we should wait for a fix at Opera's side.

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

The problem with placing the cursor in an empty element might be too complicated to fix for Opera 9.5. What about adding an empty text node?

After or instead of the GECKO_BOGUS line quoted above, do eNewBloc.appendChild(document.createTextNode());

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

That worked well Hallvord! Wonderful! Even better as we don't have to use the ugly GECKO_BOGUS hack.

Fixed with [384].
