This problem is observed with FF3.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 too.

As the title says, this happens on all NON-IE browsers, that includes FF3.

Expected outcome (all browsers): Cursor position after action/formatting (whether with selected text or example text) is at the end of text + formatting.

Exception: Line break, where the cursor appears at the beginning of a new blank line.

Possible Exceptions: In the future, on "inserts" (i.e. toolbar button actions with no selected text), we may want to consider the cursor position to be inside the formatting brackets, where applicable.

Example:

• (user clicks ref, without anything selected)
• "<ref>Insert footnote text here</ref>" appears in the editor window
• Cursor positioned at the end of "here" before the "</ref>

To clarify: this means the cursor position always goes to the end of the inserted text no matter what? We don't wanna select inserted example text?

That's not really an exception, right? The line break is part of the inserted text, after all.

Our previous behavior was to select "Insert footnote here" in this case. But right now you want the cursor to go after </ref> as well, correct?

Ack, sorry, you're right. On "inserts" we should highlight/select example text (i.e. "Insert footnote here")

and the line break is an exception in that it does not appear right after the > of <br/> but rather on the new line.

Bleh, that means more work :)

*Technically* it's not an exception, because this button inserts "<br />\n" where \n is a newline, so placing the cursor after the \n (i.e. on the new line) is exactly in line with the other buttons' behavior. Nothing to worry about, though, just means less work for me :)

Fixed in r62247.
