Linux (1999-07-01-08 M8) Mac (1999-07-01-08 M8) Steps: 1. Select a message with an attached gif from the Inbox 2. Select Reply to this message. 3. When the Compose window comes up, set focus at the top of the text 4. Type a word, hit the Space bar Actual result: the window freshes and the focus is set to the bottom of the screen Expected result: When hitting space bar, a space should be created and allow me to continue typing This occurs on Mac too. Have not tried win32 yet.

I've seen this on Win32 as well. It's strange. When you do a reply and the original message is quoted and then you type at the top of the body of the message, everytime you press the space bar, the compose window contents scroll to the bottom. I believe this is in the html compose window. Pls confirm, Fenella.

Also, I don't think having a .gif in the original message makes a difference. The original message should be long so that it causes a scroll bar in the compose window when replied to.

Reassign to buster

content is irrelevant. the problem is the event system is broken, and is ignoring the fact that the editor is consuming the space event (adding the space to the content) So the window is doing it's default behavior, which is the browser-esqe scroll-on-space action. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 8123 ***
