Event Timeline

note that this action also seems to incorporate a BACKSPACE action as well, since the cursor ends on the same vertical axis as it begins

Reproduced this bug FireFox.Also observed that , in FireFox upon clicking on the Edit-beta the value of the heading pull down menu is blank instead of the format the existing text have as soon as a character is entered and the existing line goes to the next line, the "Paragraph" value appears in the heading drop down.

However, the case is different for chrome , the value of the heading drop down for the existing line appears as soon as user clicks on Edit-beta and this bug does not occur there.

Looks like this issue got fixed.Verified in betalabs with FF 25.

Unsetting "VERIFIED"; we don't generally use that, and setting it will hide it from people's saved searches.
