Whenever I'm editing a multiline textbox (for example, here), pressing the enter button only appears to create a space in the editor, as if I had pressed the spacebar. If I close the editor and l look at the webpage, my new line shows up just fine. If I open up the editor again, any previously entered newlines show up as well, but subsequent ones will have the same result as before.

I am using an Incredible 2, with Virtuous Affinity as my rom. Other text apps (such as Gmail) work just fine.

hi, I'm sorry you are having this problem with Firefox mobile v 10. I believe it is fixed in Firefox beta, so you might try that version, it is available in google play for android 2.2 phones.

thanks, Michelle

It seems like the issue was not fixed in the beta. I am replying right now from FF 14. Besides the new line glitch, it seems like a regression has been introduced where the cursor constantly jumps to the beginning of the editor. I hope both of these bugs are fixed before the new version is given the green light!

Edit: I would like to be more specific about where this bug occurs; when I hold my phone in portrait mode, the website's editor works correctly. However, in landscape mode, using android's editor, that is where these two bugs occur.

Any word on this being fixed? The issue is still present in the latest update, 16.0.2.
