Details

If I enter text into a multi-line text box (like this one) and a word ends on the very last position of a line, when I type a space, the space character appears in the first position of the next line. Instead, it should always left-justify the text and only keep track of how many space characters are before the first word on each line internally.

As far as I can see, mozilla has the same behaviour as Nav4.6 on win95 (except mozilla implements some very nice re-wrapping when you backspace). IE 3.0 (yes, 3.0 -- old computer :0) does "buffer" that space-at-end-of-line pending the next keystroke, so that the next word begins at the left margin. beppe : the TEXTAREA widget line-wrapping is part of editor, no?
